Zephyr : Poeticspirit
Zephyr Asking folks to remember guidelines, 2 comments on other poems per one post of your own pretty please.! It is possible to learn a lot by considering other peoples poems and it will help your own poetic craft. Don't be shy,and stick to critique of the poem - not the poet., if you are new to critique, just share what you liked and what worked for you in the poem, and anything that did not work for you.

  Meenakshi : Connection

Our group on the Team blog - come play!

I mentioned this pod on the Team's blog. There's an interesting complete this verse exercise there.

This was my contribution:
Sunlight rains on one Earth
Finding niches and crannies where mosses grow
Stopping at caves where bears find berth
Playing with trees in a shade and light show

Play here or there!

Thank you Meenakshi, I played -

1) Do you like poetry? Not like LOVE, it's a passion of mine.

2) Who is your favorite poet(s)?
Neruda, Shakespeare, Blake, Wordsworth, Rumi, others too many to mention

3) Have you ever written poetry? Loads I write often, many different forms

4) Do you like rhyme? Yes, also internal rhyme, and free verse, and the simplicity and zen of haiku, and oriental forms,  fibonnacci too.

My completion of the line

Sunlight rains on one earth
love letters from our universe
our sun travels the globes girth
the ocean is her wet nurse

giving succour to all creatures
in truly unconditional love
greening each continents features
life is love, rains on us from above

That's a wondrous response, Gael.

My favourite poet is Rilke, and I also love the ones you do.

I write poetry from time to time, lately mostly haiku in the Now I Can See the Moon pod.

I prefer non-rhyming poetry but deeply appreciated well-written rhymes

Sunlight rains on one earth
Delighted beings drink in the light-love
And tremble in the energy of life
