Hi everyone,
Welcome to 365 Days of Poetry & Honesty! I hope this week has been kind to you <3
I’ve got two songs to share with you today! The first is by Jill Scott and I don't know what it is but I could just look at her forever. There's something so radiant about her beauty in itself! The second is by Jay Prince and the song makes me feel about excited about life.
I hope you enjoy the poems!
Monday
I love Mary Oliver, particularly her poems about nature. And Icarus, I like that myth a lot.
Tuesday
The second poem was inspired by the phrase “glass-bottomed boats” in Gregory Orr’s poem ‘Two Songs of the River’. I liked the imagery and I figure a glass sailboat would sink, but that's the wonderful thing about faith!
Wednesday
Thursday
Prose-poetry! This is how I first started writing and reading it, it’s nostalgic, I miss it. Let me know your thoughts and if it's something you'd be interested in reading more of :)

Wishing you a wonderful week :)
With Love,
