In today's Premier Poet's Corner is the second winter collaborative poem. Mary Couch contributed the title, and the three lines by Joe Ottinger, George Wylie, and Deborah Petersen worked beautifully together. More collaborative poems to follow after the holiday. Merry Christmas, all!
In today's Premier Poet's Corner is the first collaborative poem to come out of the Winter Solstice Word Collection. Poets donated 161 distinct words to this project. I decided not to try to fit them all into the same poem, but group them by kind. Here is our first piece. Thanks to George Wylie, David Allen, Renee Morin, Paula Sunderwirth Guernsey, Chuck Kellum, Alys Caviness-Gober, and liladiller for your contributions! More to come later... Yesterday, I challenged people on social media to donate a few of their favorite winter words for a collaborative poem. Poets donated over 161 distinct words! I'm busy sorting these into poems. In the meantime, Mary Couch contributed a few winter words the stand alone! Enjoy her winter poem as we celebrate the arrival of winter. In today's Premier Poet's Corner is another beautiful poem by George Wolfe. He says, "This poem was inspired by my daughter Esther when she was an infant, just awakening to self awareness. Hence the title 'First Dawn.'" If you are a members of PSI and would like to be featured on our website and Facebook pages, just email your short poems to sarahemorin1836@gmail.com.
