A Writer's Challenge
A Writer’s Challenge
To step into the space of a blank page,
collage it with imaginary color.
To walk hand-in-hand with wonder,
wrap souls with magical warmness.
To inhale the breezes of fantasy’s breaths,
create fabrications in the wind.
To embrace feelings of hidden meaning,
to reap unearthed ideas.
To celebrate vivacious voices,
release inhibitions from shy silence.
To seduce bare paper with passionate words,
then to dare someone to read them.

Voices through Poetry
Several years ago, I discovered how much I enjoyed writing poetry. Not only was it a way for me to be creative, but it also became a voice through which I could express many things that I otherwise could not. Now it is a daily part of my life. Whether it is in private journaling or reading at an organized event, writing my own, or enjoying someone else's work--it has a place in my life every day. That's what this blog is all about. To share work, ideas, events, or even to post a poem. I hope you will join in with your own creative voice.
