I just posted my annual Christmas poem. I'll be reading it to Smorg's guitar accompaniment at the church Wassael Night tonight.

I've been working on a Christmas poem. I try to do one every year and then I read it at our church Wassael Night. Some are better than others...

Good morning All! That would be great Sheba...I have lost my muse. I think I have just been real busy and unable to sit down long enough to focus on my thoughts which is why I havent been able to write.

Welcome, Sister! I have made you an editor so you can post blogs to the group. Feel free to post poems.

hi, i just joined golo 3 days ago. check out my profile. I write poetry and short stories. I won best poet in grade school. I write when i'm happy, sad, bored or whenever. Its therapy for me,mostly.

I posted a poem I wrote for my fifteen year old granddaughter Mara. Earlier this year, she came home from school and found her mother dead in her bed. She performed CPR until the medics came, but it was too late. She did everything right, but her mother died anyway. This poem is for Mara.

On the anniversary of his Nov. 19, 1915 execution, his last will:

My will is easy to decide

For there is nothing to divide

My kin don't need to fuss and moan

"Moss does not cling to a rolling stone."

My body? - Oh. - If I could choose

I would to ashes it reduce

And let the merry breezes blow

My dust to where some flowers grow

Perhaps some fading flower then

Would come to life and bloom again

This is my Last and final Will

Good Luck to All of you

-Joe Hill

Ms M, I have not been writing much either. Maybe we can all inspire each other!

Good morning everyone. I like to read and write poetry. I have been in a funk lately. I write various types. I dont stick with any particular style of it. I look forward to reading and perhaps being inspired enough to put the pen back to the paper. Have a great day everyone!

One of my poems is posted on my profile. I have many others - I have been writing poems for almost as long as I could write. I have written rhymed and free verse (and occasional blank verse, even), sonnets, haiku, limericks, doggerel and just plain silly stuff.

I admire poets from William Blake to Ogden Nash, Dorothy Parker to John Donne, Basho (a writer of haiku) to Baudelaire.

Who are your favorite poets? What sort of poetry do you like to write and/or read?
