Diction Daydream
-Heather
The
sun on my back,
The
wind on my skin,
Waiting
for words to sprout from within.
For
unspoken beauty,
I
scavenge my mind,
Praying
it’s something of worth that I find.
I
know that they’re in there,
These
words for which I plea,
Yet
the challenge of writing
Is
setting them free.
lalalalala heather is awesome. did you submit this one for publication? please tell me you did!
ReplyDeleteyes I did! emma i missed you.
DeleteThis is lovely!
ReplyDeleteA quick word of advice...as someone who also writes poetry and has been published in a poetry journal I would encourage you not to post poetry you want to submit for publication on the internet. If a poem is put on Facebook, a blog, or so on publishers and editors won't consider it for publication.
I know this from experience as well as having received the incredible advice from an experienced and well published poet.
Thank you, and thanks for the advice, good to know!
DeleteAmazing poem. I like the design; it connects to the theme of your blog. Thanks for following me back! I also love your profile avatar (not the movie) and your name. I need help: do you know anyone interested in writing, art, photography, crafts, recipes, drawing, etc? If you do, and they'd be willing to join blog for joy, answer me at jadefireeyes@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks so much! How often would you have to contribute to blog for Blog for Joy? Depending, I'll seriously consider it! I'll put it on my favorites too to maybe attract some more possible bloggers :)
DeleteThat's lovely! I envy your ability to write rhyming poetry...
ReplyDeleteTHANKS!
