Dragonfly's Poetry and Prolixity

FreeVerse

Hosted by Cara at Ooh...Books!


I was in my 40s before I truly appreciated poetry. I always liked what my sister wrote, but that was because I could relate personally to her subject matter. It was through an online writing site she encouraged me to join that I discovered other poets whose writing I enjoyed. A few of these have become my friends and I would like to acknowledge one in particular.

Marion is passionate about poetry. Not only does she love poetry, she wants everyone else to love it, too! Her blog is a wonderful mixture of photographs, quotes and poems, poems, poems. She posts informative entries featuring her favorite poets and occasionally treats us to her own work, which is outstanding in its own right.

In honor of Cara's weekly FreeVerse (click on the FreeVerse button above to visit her site), check out Marion's blog for a delightful poetry experience.

Looks fantastic. Maybe your sister will join FreeVerse, too :-).

I liked the "Blue Skyy" poem and will go back to read more. Thanks for sharing her with us.

Thanks for sharing your sister with us. Very cool!

I'll write soon, Tracy!

Ooops, I wasn't clear.... Marion is a dear friend, but not my sister. It was my sister, Pam, who got me on the site where I met Marion. I'm hoping to feature some of Pam's poetry in a future FreeVerse! Both of them should participate as well. (hint, hint Pam and Marion)
