In Pursuit of Poetry

by 💙 Carly

Rated: 13+ · Book · Writing · #2151851

Blogging about all things poetry - starting with 30 days and 30 poems

This blog was begun as part of this challenge:

#2076114 by Not Available.

The challenge:

What poem best describes your mood today?
Is there a poem that means a great deal to you?
What poem collection is your all-time favorite?

Your challenge: Share one professionally written poem (or excerpt) per day for 30 days, and tell us why you like it. What part is the best? Why is it special to you? What are your thoughts on the poet? Anything from Spenser and Shakespeare to poets published in the past year is fine with me.
And yes, if you want, you can include a poem of your own inspired by the poem you chose.
