Language of the Heart

One of the keys to a vivid life is slowing down and becoming open to the beauty of the world around us. I have long found that one group of people who pay exquisite attention to life and then make stirring art out of their observations are poets! Maybe you find poetry in song lyrics, or like the cadences of Shakespeare’s dialogue. Maybe the expansive small grace of haiku is more your style. Maybe you get a kick out of rhyming children’s books or Shel Silverstein poems. It’s all good here!

This challenge offers a chance to expand your mental horizons, examine small moments of beauty, and share your enjoyment with others.

Daily: Read, write, or share a poem

Reflection: It seemed like this challenge had appeal for a smaller crowd than many, but for those who participated, most found it valuable. Certainly I enjoyed reading what others had shared, and wrote a few poems this month myself (as I usually do!).
