Welcome to Episode 4) Love and Fall Poems
Please consider tipping today to show some love to the poems I featured today. My dream is to start being able to give to the creators I am showcasing!
Get your own “The Shrug” coffee mug today, comment if you are interested. I will be posting about that more later but I would like a head count on anyone interested in the meantime!
Here are the artists I chose for this week! I hope you enjoy the selection, I loved all of these poems and creators so much. If you like what you hear, please go and heart, comment, and consider tipping these artists. The point of the podcast was to give more attention to artists and their work, so that they may continue to grow. It can be hard as an artist to put your work out there for the public eye, and hopefully, we can show these artists that it was brave and well worth it.
Matthew Mccahey
This poem was such a memory for me. The Times I loved someone who wasn't good for me, multiple times that is. I think we all experience this type of love at least once and we know the best option is to let them go.
Real Poetic feat Jazzy Gonçalves
This poem is a combo of two haikus. R.P. and I collaborated on this. Haikus are not my strong suit but doing them with R.P. made me believe in myself. This fall-themed haiku was made perfect by the fact I was able to get my pumpkin spice latte today. What else is there in life but the fall?
Kay Husnick
If this name looks familiar it's because she had a Top Story this week, and that is how I found her. Typically when I see new names on top story I read as much of their work as I can, spreading the love. I was not disappointed. Kay has a collection of poems and fiction pieces that are wonderful. This poem was probably for the short and sweet challenge, and it was flawless. I loved the push and pull of the love in this poem, reminding me of compromise with my loved ones.
Heather Hubler
I read this and was immediately intrigued. She had come across a picture of armor and made a poem about the cages we build around ourselves. I'm a huge fan of knights and the idea behind them to have a connection of chain mail to our own personal struggles was invigorating.
Schmalz
I was reading this poem for the second time before I realized I had some Misty eyes. This landscape poetry made me think of my childhood in Montana and the descriptive nature of God's creation leaves you in awe.
Frankie Martinelli
This poem not only has a song-like quality to it, but that cadence is simply divine. These thoughts I believe all lovers have thought with each other before. I love the repetition and the feeling of the poem is one of that dreamy state you experience when You're with the one you love.
Jazzy's “Mine to Weave”
Unfortunately, this is not allowing me to add my poem. However, I will come back and add it later. Oh it just let me add it (and yes word count reached!)
I wrote this almost as a homage to free will.
I love the idea that we can make our choices and the consequences of those choices are ours to behold. We can learn from books and each other and hopefully have an easier time, however, we make our own patches.
