About This Newsletter

With so many different aspects and ways to approach poetry, I'm pretty sure it'd be impossible to cover them all, but, one week at a time, it can be tried, right? *Wink*

Letter from the editor

         Well, hello again, my dears! How have you been? Enjoying your summer?

         I'm NOT!

         My neck of the woods has been enduring a heat wave that has me pretty convinced that we're preparing to give Satan a comfortable visit!

         Of course, the simple solution is turning up the air conditioner, but that's just not enough --especially at sunset when the sun comes directly through my window to burn my back while I sit innocently at my computer trying to think of some idea for a Poetry Newsletter. *Wink* I'm fairly certain that the only relief to be found is being Bogarted by the polar bears and penguins...

         The economy being what it is though, I doubt very many of us can afford to up and fly to Antarctica, so let's take a much cheaper route to cooler climates; forget Christmas in July, I'm on a mission to be transported to a world of snowfall in July!*Wink*

*Heart*,
Stephanie Grace
P.S. Wow... Sorry this is so short! I pulled a dumb move and bought those blasted, wasteful wide-ruled notebooks instead of my customary college-ruled so this seemed so much longer when I actually wrote it (yup... some of us still you paper and pen(cil). We're a rare breed nowadays, be we exist). *Wink**Kiss*

Thanks to the wonderfully talented poets on WdC, I found relief just a few clicks away... I invite you now to come with me on a lovely adventure to cooler weather and a sparkle of snow in July! *Kiss*

 Autumn Won't You Stay a While? Open in new Window. (E)
All too soon, autumn turns to winter.
#504976 by Kenzie Author IconMail Icon

Since some of you may not be so willing to dive right into a snow drift, I figured I'd ease you into it with Kenzie's beautiful poem of autumn. I was so thrilled by the scene she set to life before my eyes! Ahh... sweet relief...

This poem is short, sweet and just a delight! It gave me a visit to Illinois in winter and I got a good chuckle from it! *Delight*

Not only did Andrea show me a perfect winter scene in her poem, but she truly relayed the feeling of appreciating such scenes --something I'm definitely feeling right now!

So, I tried for one that might make me appreciate that's it NOT snowing and it almost worked... almost! Janice surely made me feel that way, but, as a housewife, I generally don't have to go out in the snow, so it doesn't bother me much. *Laugh* I prayed for a blizzard way past spring's arrival! *Wink*

Ask & Answer

*Cry*Only one comment last time... Well, I guess y'all didn't take too kindly to my lazy, short poem approach to writing... *Pthb* One day, you'll learn to love it! *Pthb**Wink*

From: 2whimsical
Endless rain pounding
Sun but a faint remembrance
No summer this year.

Gee, more time to write!

Thanks for this.
Thank YOU for that! I'm pretty sure that'll be my mantra next year! Any chance that's available on a T-shirt? *Wink*
