A Brilliant start to the Week! #Poetry

We’re back!

I managed to switch off the computer and my worry machine over the weekend. My fingers ache from all the writing I have done, but I am so happy with the results of my first writing retreat. This may be a regular thing until I finish this work in progress.

This year started crazy and has continued to challenge us all. I lost my way with writing, to be honest, I didn’t think I could turn it around.

Somehow, I found a store of better determination, and I’m delighted! I even found time to plant seeds and cut the grass!

I managed 3000 words this weekend and came up with ideas for two more books while I was at it. Not sure why this happens, but so glad it does.

We are kicking off the week with another one of Anita’s incredible yet crazy poems. She may not be up to any long walks yet, but her brain is still working properly. Yay!

This brilliant acrostic poem is actually three poems in one. You can read each font separately, or as one poem.

    I’ve been in the same trough, and I think it’s the terrible uncertainty of our lives at the moment. Generations to come will look back at this time as a pivotal point in history. Yay. Living through it has been miserable. Hopefully things will keep improving and we’ll both get creative with words again.

      It was really getting us down, Meeka, We were determined to stop the slide, and somehow we managed it. Equally determined to make this a habit…

        I’m so glad you’ve managed to control the beast. I’m still trying to sneak up on it from behind. Here’s hoping we all get back to putting words on paper, even if it’s e-ink. -hugs-
