Poetry Blogfest Day 2

Hello readers and welcome to day two of the blogfest! Today's challenge is...

Found Poetry: pick a random page from the book you're about to read/are reading/or just finished and find some words in it to make poetry.

Since it's Tuesday I think we should have some more fun and have a two for Tuesday day. The other challenge is...

Magazine poem: get a magazine and find words to create a poem.

Come over

ruin the party

take me prisoner

I don't care

(cuz my laugh

is loud enough

for those who love

to hear)

Also, four of my favorite poems will be picked at the end of the blogfest/this week and given a special feature in my poetry collection (with your permission of publication, of course)! Enjoy!

Btw, here is the hashtag to use for this week's blogfest and next week's tour: #azpoetrybooktour

Book Tour: Timeless by Crystal Collier

Hello Poetteers, Let's welcome Crystal Collier here today to share her brand new book! Title: TIMELESS Series: Maiden of Time, #3 Author: Crystal Collier Pages: 253 Publication: November 1, 2016 Publisher: Raybourne Publishing ISBN: 9781629830056 TIME IS THE ENEMY. In 1771, Alexia had everything: the man of her dreams, reconciliation with her father, even a child on the way. But she was never meant to stay. It broke her heart, but Alexia heeded destiny and traveled five hundred years back to stop the Soulless from becoming. In the thirteenth century, the Holy Roman Church has ordered the Knights Templar to exterminate the Passionate, her bloodline. As Alexia fights this new threat—along with an unfathomable evil and her own heart—the Soulless genesis nears. But none of her hard-won battles may matter if she dies in childbirth before completing her mission. Can Alexia escape her own cloc...

Upcoming Poetry Reads of 2021, Part 2

Hello Poetteers, I'm sharing more poetry books I discovered and am excited to read! March Coming Home to Her By Emily Juniper It is a celebration of being human.

I See How You've Kept Me by Aisha Adams A debut poetry book that takes you through a journey of brokenness to reach complete healing. May The...

The Tortured Poets Analysis

Personal Interpretation of The Tortured Poets Dear readers, I enjoy reading a song and analyzing the lyrics. I love being able to detect the story she's telling while also interpreting it. I develop my own personal connection. Here's a breakdown why some of the lyrics have become my favorite. no one here to blame, what about your quiet treason. the betrayal brought her depression and she’s attempting to move on but the forced energy isn’t healing. It's about struggling with a traumatic situation alone because no one noticed the changes in you. The narrator is envious of those living peaceful lives and frustrated that friends found better people to be with. I've seen this episode and still loved the show, I've read this one where you come undone, I chose this cyclone with you. Depending on the perspective you choose it's about the guilt and regret for getting in your own way or willing to stay with someone through their mental illness. The voices in his head cal...
