Breathing Life Into Poetic Sails

POETRY ARTICLE

Let us read and celebrate these works

How many of you actually read poetry? Who are your favorite poets? Do you know why these poets’ words call to you? What is it about their subjects, phrasing, or figurative language that makes you want to live your life differently?

Today, I invite you to be a great audience of poetry. Try reading the words aloud. Think about how the words drip off your tongue and teeth. Notice what emotions arise in you during and after reading. If you are a poet, how do other poets inspire you to create?

Let us all breathe life into these specific pieces* that have been published here in The POM lately. Let them sail further by commenting about what you felt when reading (see the prompts above). Once a poem is out there in the world, it no longer belongs to the poet. It takes a community to keep it alive. Let’s be a great audience.

Thank you so much for reading and celebrating these POM poets.
