Feature Poem for August
This month’s feature poet is Steph, from the blog, Stories and Things Like That. I really like the repetition Steph uses in this poem and how the shape reinforces and emphasizes the touching memories of a loved one.
Blogger Submissions for August
The prompt in August was to write a poem or format a poem with a Heart theme.
We had some wonderful interpretations of this theme, so please do hop around and check them all out.
- Hesterleynel writes in both Afrikaans and English, which is no easy feat and cleverly uses a heart format to communicate her words.
- Bondelsgedagtes writes about Love never being enough.
- Ju- Lyn writes an exquisite Somonka. Just as two souls are intwined in love, Ju-Lyn has intwined Two Tanka poems about the power of Love.
- Yvette at priorhouse.blog delights us with eye -pleasing photographs and a fun heart shaped format to accompany her writing.
- Ineke at scrapydo2 writes a touching poem about love, loss and forgiveness
(Insert into Google translate for English)
- Amanda aused a heart graphic and rhyme to enhance this love poem here
- Mammasquirrel presents a poem honoring her faith and love of the Divine.
- Manja writes a poetic story of love, separation, and what’s more, it comes beautifully illustrated with photographs.
- Tafazul writes with honesty and directness in his poem for August.
- Featured poet: Steph, from the blog, Stories and Things Like That.
Please let me know if you submitted a poem during August, and the link is not listed here.
Sometimes pingbacks do not work as they should.
