Dear Whispers’
Friends,
Tomorrow we turn the page to another year. Being a part of our community of talented
people is a gift. You have enriched my
life with your support and encouragement. We cross borders with our words,
stretching hands, sometimes when people need it the most.
As Leaves Turn…
…the turns I make
define my moments
define my journey
define my inner core
…and when the final
leaf turns, I hope it
matters
Your words define moments, pieces born of life experiences. The emails I get from writers and readers is a
testimony that what you write matters.
We are a community of a wide array of views with writers as young as 12
and some in their 90s. As poetry moves from generation to generation we have
the opportunity to grow and encourage others.
So, as your leaves turn into 2017, I hope you will continue
to journey with Whispers. Thank you
for making a difference.
Blessings,
Karen O’Leary
Whispers’ Editor
