Dear Friends,
I would like to dedicated this monthly column to our talented contributors. Not only have I been privileged to publish creative pieces from different views, I feel blessed to be working with so many wonderful people. Many of you are lights in the writing community at large. As kind and caring people, our contributors share their knowledge and experience to insure poetry will live on in generations to come.
Many of our writers have volunteered to host activities that give readers something new to try and help our community grow. Others share collaborative poems that people really enjoy. I appreciate all the encouraging comments people leave for other writers. These are special gifts I am truly grateful for.

A Writer’s Wings
Creativity whispers
in the wind.
Sometimes it blows
in gusts.
Sometimes it trickles
like sprinkling rain.
Sometimes it dries
up for a season.
Then, it whispers
once again.
Thank you, contributors, for spreading your wings to bring joy in so
many ways. May your words keep whispering here and in other venues.
Best wishes to all of you.
Blessings,
Karen O’Leary

ReplyDeleteDear Karen, poetry is like a bird in flight, gliding gracefully into a reader's soul. Poetic verse is a magnet that sticks to a reader's mind and leaving an imprint like the negative of a snap shot. Prose can never Whispers like that! Beautiful poem!

Beautifully written as ever Karen, we have you to thank for the diversity of this site, just look how far it has come in so short a time! Its important as writers not only to be read but to feed our creativity and knowledge base through continuous reading in a strive for improvement. Leaving few words or a form of acknowledgement of your passing through is helpful to the writer in knowing whether they are pitching correctly to the right audience and how they might improve. Acknowledging lets us know we are being read and that it is worth continuing our path and reaching others. With so many talented writers on this site there is a host of verse from which to choose and its a pleasure to share amongst like minded people. My thanks to all those whom share their talents with us here. Keep on penning!
ReplyDeleteDear Anna-Marie,
DeleteWhat a gift to read your words today! Thank you for your encouragement and friendship. It's such a pleasure to work with talented writers like you. We do learn and grow from each other. Thank you so much for being a part of the Whispers' journey.
Love,
Karen
