Learning To Fly

As we close out the end of another too fast summer, I wanted to share a couple of poems from www.sincerelybluejay.com and also to share the third chapter of the Artistry of Breadcrumbs collection!

More poetry - chapter 2 of the collection the Artistry of breadcrumbs. 

This episode of the podcast is a very special one, my guest star and I are taking some time to talk about important developments in history, an important perspective to bear in mind when creating, and of course POETRY! For more of Semassa's voice check out: https://www.popmatters.com/u/semassaboko

Sorry for butchering a few of these pieces. I get so caught up in the emotions of them that I stumble. Also the composer mentioned was Ludovico Einaudi. If you've not listened to his work before I highly recommend it. 

Here are some more prompts you can write to or inspired by! 

I love all of these pieces and I'm so glad that they are all at the touch of my fingertips. Thanks for joining me!

In today's episode I shared some letters that were poetic in nature but intended to inspire further poetry. This episode was a personal reflection at some of my feelings, thoughts, and experiences impacted by the Covid-19 situation - as a way of bringing them to life. So they could breathe and move on. Thank you for joining me. 

This episode is about housekeeping, news, and poetry all created or celebrated during the month of August. 

So for the month of August I found a 30 day prompt  challenge that took a lyric or two from a wide variety of songs and inspired you to write something - anything really, including that line. Here are a couple of the earlier poems from this challenge, I hope you enjoyed.

In this episode I read the first chapter from my collection of poetry, "The Artistry of Breadcrumbs" which was written and completed 4 years ago.
