This is the common air that bathes the globe.”

Libby1 I had a dyslexic moment and read that as “Russian Poetry Under the Stars”. 🤣 6y

Winter Poems | Barbara Rogasky

two day old

seed-filled bird

feeder

hanging from

the porch —

having birds come

fills our home

with what is

outside

our home:

as much

a part of our lives

as the furniture

we sit in

food we eat

books we write

waiting

waiting for birds to come

~David Kherdian~

Back to bed we go!

SNOWDAY!!! #poetry #litsypoetry

Our Numbered Days | Neil Hilborn

Pickpick

Many of us don't think of ourselves as poetry readers - for me it was the poetry I had to read in school and uni; so much of it was inaccessible and difficult to relate to. But modern poetry is a different beast and I am enjoying the ride. A finely written poem is a blow to the heart, it's the martial art of writing. Neil Hilborn is so sharp you don't even realise you've been cut until you see the blood. #neilhilborn #litsypoetry

A new book of poetry recommended by a friend. Seems the perfect time for it, here in Pennsylvania! #bookmail #litsypoetry #poetry #poetry365 #litsypoetry365

Bookworm83 I need more poetry in my life and I love winter, so this makes sense. Stacked! 7y
DivineDiana @Bookworm83 I feel the same! Litsy is inspiring me! 7y

Bestiary: Poems | Donika Kelly

So excited to read Donika Kelly's BESTIARY, winner of the Cave Canem Prize. Thanks to @graywolfpress for sending it! #poetry

Littens, are any of you also poetry readers? How do you find other verse enthusiasts on @Litsy ?

LectricSheep I love poetry-- it's what I got my MFA in. I don't see too much of it on Litsy, especially contemporary stuff. Maybe we need a hashtag! :) 8y
CarolynOliver @LectricSheep I was thinking that too! I did a quick search and there are only 180 posts tagged #poetry (plus a smattering of related tags). #litsypoetry ? #shareapoem ? #readpoetry ? Something else? 8y
Nafiza There's also A Bestiary by Lily Hoang that I have been lusting after for a while. Are you familiar with it? 8y
CarolynOliver @Nafiza I'm not, but I'll keep an eye out for it! 8y
