Blurb - A selection of poems and prose created using daily prompts words chosen by the writing community on X (formerly Twitter).
Featuring vss365, NAlove, & vssGhostShip.
Includes guest poets. (me and other folks)
I’ve started posting prompts on Threads – keep your eyes peeled for why.
On Instagram I’ve returned to my roots. It’s all about the poetry.
This is one of my recent favourites.
To all the women I've known in life
Someone's sister, mother, wife,
Someone's daughter, neighbour, friend
Someone's person till the end
To all the roles you've had to play
For troubles you have chased away
For all the things you've given up
For all the times you've shown you're tough
For every hug for someone near
For every hand you held in fear
For every tear that has been shed
Every time you've used your head
For many forms of love you've shared
For all the times you've been prepared
For actions big and actions small
For words you likely won't recall
Past and present
Future too
You give so much
Wow and thank you

In other news I have been challenged to write a list of EVERYTHING I have to do – thanks KL Small (I think…maybe…)
Will update on all matters as news comes in …
What I’m readingWorld by Design – Norb Aikin
Which you can find in his shop or on Amazon
Blurb –
In World By Design, Norb Aikin's third book of poetry, the question of whether we truly create our own world or are living in a world created for us is posed. Existence is a balance of multiple paradoxes yearning to be uncovered; what we do with them is really the only part we get to dictate, and even then it isn't always a matter of choice. Maybe this book itself is an existential crisis clouded in a mystery of words, but you won't know if it's life-changing or not unless you read it. Your results may vary.
Norb Aikin is a poet and blogger originally from Buffalo, NY and now living in Cortland. World By Design is his third book of poetry, after 100 and Mutants. Please be kind; you never know what others are dealing with in their own lives. Support local and indie authors, creators, and bookstores. Go Bills!
