Poet Portraits & Saturday Thoughts

Sylvia Plath

Poet Portraits--

One of my favorite things to do is look at photos of poets who are only with us in words.

These portraits offer brief glimpses into lives I wasn't around to see.  I especially love coming across a photo of a poet I have never seen before.  Like the one above, Miss Sylvia Plath.  Hair up and out on the water.

She was one of my favorites whose stay here on earth was just not long enough.

I hope to post a few more of my favorite poets throughout April.  Maybe they'll inspire a poem.  Maybe a passion.

It's April 3rd, do you know where your poems are?

I do and I've written 3 new "poems."  I have poems in quotes because they are not very good, but they are beginnings.  How is everyone else doing?
