Blogging from A to Z Challenge (April 2019) - Theme Reveal

-

Stay tuned for next month, when I'll be participating in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge!  
Each day in April, minus Sundays, I'll be posting a new original poem with titles A - Z.
26 days.
26 letters.
26 poems.
Sign-ups are happening now, so head on over here:


Really, anything goes, so join in!
 A - Z of recipes and A to Z of dog breeds.  A - Z of books you've read or
A - Z of crafts.  
A to Z of foreign travel.

The sky's the limit!

If you have a blog, you can do it!

If you don't have a blog, get one!

*****************

I know... I know... A-Z poem titles is a fairly boring theme! 
I will try to shake it up with different forms and subjects.
I hope it won't come off as an A is for Apple, B is for Bear sort of thing!
I've been writing poetry for years, and other than two courses in school (one creative writing in high school and other other a poetry writing college course) my poetry has always been private. 
Until now! 

*****************

Sign-ups close April 6th, but by then you'll have missed A-F!
So, do it now!

      Thanks for stopping in to encourage me! Your A-Z theme sounds very educational, something all of us could learn something from.

      It's for sure different from last year, my first participating year. That was A to Z of the Garden! I thought I'd try something different. I'll be the first to admit, some of my poems are pretty hokey!

      Thank you for your support! Unfortunately, as far as your theme, I know absolutely nothing about the show! That isn't totally true, I know that when it first started Sean Bean was in it! The end of my knowledge!

 Writers' Pantry #52  https://poetsandstorytellersunited.blogspot.com/2021/01/writers-pantry-52-years-beginning.html I've been playing with some new, to me, poetry forms.  April is the Blogging from A to Z Challenge, and my plans are A-Z of poetry forms.  I like to get a head start, especially since I also participate on my other blog.   This is a Golden Shovel. It was created by Terrance Hayes, an award-winning poet and professor in New York.  https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/terrance-hayes The "rules" are: take lines, or one line, from an existing poem take each word and use it, in order, as an end word in your new poem give credit My poem uses the words from the last line of Edna St. Vincent Millay's Time Does Not Bring Relief (Sonnet II), "and so stand stricken so remembering him."             I had told him “yes” already, and it’s too late to change that now, so I let my words stand though I am stricken at the thought.   I am so cr

 Weekly Scribblings #45: https://poetsandstorytellersunited.blogspot.com/2020/11/weekly-scribblings-45-artistic.html A picture prompt this week, prose or poetry inspired by one or more of three paintings.  I chose two,  'Beautiful, YOU are' by Magic Love Crow, and 'Carnival Dreams' by Shelle Kennedy. 'Carnival Dreams' by Shelle Kennedy      Beautiful, you are,      though your thoughts are dark,      and bitter.      A macabre carnival of emotion      battles in you.        The heart you wear      belies the fury      of the one that beats.        Your face tells.      Tells of suffering,      loneliness,      too much despair      in one so young.      One still hoping.      Yet not daring to hope.   Hope!   The red balloon you cling to. Hope! Straining skyward.       'Beautiful, YOU are' by Magic Love Crow Look outside the gates. Outside your grim carnival and watch the crows at sunset fly in
