Wondering what made the author write this poem? Well you may! It is an intriguing meditation for a late spring day.
"Say the Word" by Sandra Beasley - Poetry Tuesday No.122
zhlédnutí 36Před měsícem
In this week's poem, the poet uses a few terms that might be unfamiliar. Chthonic means having to do with soil and underground realms. And Dis is an ancient Roman god who was associated with fertile soil and mineral wealth. I hope you dig it as I do...not with a pickaxe, but with the gentle spoons of your ears.

    I just discovered this year, when you have an abundance of fresh tomatoes at the end of summer, you can just take six or eight of them and put them into a ziplock and stick them in the freezer fresh tomatoes throughout winter, well kind of fresh tomatoes LOL I use them to put into red lentil Curry

    You might consider overnight oats. I use maybe a mashed ripe banana or some dates and I put it into a mason jar with some maybe half a cup of raw oatmeal uncooked, I add to that a teeny bit of Vanilla some water tablespoon of cocoa powder and say I have a cup of water. I started stick it in the fridge and the next morning it is fantastic cold, or after dinner it makes a pretty yummy dessert while I'm watching TV also sometimes instead of chocolate I use peanut butter powder the sugar-free kind and add dates and or banana to that with the oats in the water and let it sit for a couple hours and yum! Again cold.

    What a surprise to hear my poem featured & so beautifully read; you read it coincidentally on our daughter's father's birthday. I was just sharing the poem with a friend who hadn't known Elizabeth, who in her own villanelle taught us all about loss. Please correct the spelling of my surname, & I hope you do enjoy reading Elizabeth's own poems aloud. Sandra McPherson, Davis, California.

    @billcohen8236 Před 6 lety

    I love this very creative idea, especially if Matt can make each poem personalized by adding a couple of facts or characterizations about each person who's receiving the poem. Actually, I love the idea, even if he doesn't do that, but I just add my two cents worth. Congratulations!

    • @amymillercohen9343
      @amymillercohen9343 Před 6 lety

      Better yet........how about I ask him to include the name Bob or words with Bob in it in each poem (bobbing along) (bobby pins) bobbing for apples........I might give him a bunch of money to pay for more people who show up!!!
