begin with dream
with the world within the world
with the world behind the world
with the world beyond the world
everything begins there

- from Richard Skelton's epic Upper Paleolithic poem "Stranger in the Mask of a Deer" (Penned in the Margins, 2021) for today's #WorldPoetryDay.

#WritersCoffeeClub 21. Share your most poetic line.

I'm either writing actual poems or prose, so here's a poem.

In the dark of night
Deep within a maze
A void where truth dies
And all seems lost

A flicker
A glimmer
Spark of what could be

If one seizes a moral compass
And navigates to eternity
Speaks out against the lies
Rallying beneath the stars

To prove a world that was stolen
Can still be ours

On this first day of Spring
Winter not ready to let go
Its last words in the wind
So cold and full of sorrow
Through trees timidly blushing
The rain is now falling slow
.
.
A little quick and dirty one, last minute for World Poetry Day and the coming of Spring

‘Go light a candle in your darkest room.
If you can’t find the candle, find the room.
If you can’t find the room, then the candle.
If you go, you know, one of them will come.'

In honor of #WorldPoetryDay, here is one of my faves from 2023.

https://arisummerland.ghost.io/world-poetry-day/

keep silent . .
the most beautiful voice ,
is the talk of your hand
on the table.

قليل من الصمت . . ياجاهلة
فأجمل من كل هذا الحديث
حديث يديك
على الطاولة
(The talk of her hands, Arabian love poems)

Nizar Qabbani
(21 Mar.1923-1998)

What would #WorldPoetryDay be without the wisdom and words of Maya Angelou and James Baldwin? In 1975, the two sat down to speak about all things life and love.

I found him wandering on the hill
one hot blue afternoon.
He looked as skinny as a nail,
as pale-skinned as the moon…
