A poem for a poets gathering . . .
Students enrolled in this online class this year were from or resident in the following countries Equador, El Salvador, Argentina, Parugay, Argentina, Colombia, USA, Canada, Spain, UK, Bahrian, Tanzania, Kenya, Zambia, Cambodia, Beijing and Israel.
Wonderful to work with this team (with one absent) to mentor young poets from Cambodia, United States of America, Argentina, Parugay, Argentina, UK, Bahrian, El Salvador, Israel, Beijing, Australia and the UK.
My heart soars with the hopeful message, diversity, questioning, open hearts of these young poets.
Poets’ Arising
For Young Writers
2pm in my afternoon
evening and day in theirs
young poets gathering
screen by screen
microphone by microphone
heart by heart.
They share their
thoughts and dreams
with facilitators who listen
beat by beat
metaphor by metaphor
rhyme by rhyme.
Witness words
discourse words
meditating syllables
voice by voice
asking, nurturing, empowering.
Also making us laugh
feel the warmth of a summers day
walk in gardens with hidden meanings
listen and see all the creatures of the ocean.
Each phrase unique
yet, emotions universal.
Each current experience reconnecting
world’s disconnection.
Symphonic souls
