Poetry can save your life. It can resurrect your soul. It can illuminate your love and those your care for in ways other writing cannot. #poetry

Today, March 21st is National Poetry Day! Take a look at this impressionist painting. What do you notice in the painting? What colors do you see? How does this painting make you feel and why? Write a poem about it using the word BLUE.

• When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man’s concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence.

Valentine’s Day can sometimes be a challenge but it important to know and understand who you are. This poem started as a quote I saw on social media, but it became a bio poem of me. #poetrysky #poetrycommunity #love #writersky Happy Valentine’s Day!! ❤️🥰😘😍

While sitting in my chair at the hair salon, I thought about all the negative news stories being thrown out and the word “overwhelm” scanned across my brain.

@bethkempton.bsky.social has a #tinywinterpoem challenge that hits all the right spots. One word, one picture, and write for ten minutes. The poetry that’s created packs a punch and there are not any revisions. Sometimes our imposter syndrome needs a rest. #poetrysky #writersky

Anti-intellectualism undermines public education by devaluing expertise, critical thinking, and the pursuit of knowledge, prioritizing conformity over curiosity.

Creativity is the doorway to emotion, advocacy and solace. If we continue to write, draw, paint, knit, crochet, sculpt, or act, we learn how to think. Power is in our voice. #Creativity #WritingCommunity #Poetry

It was never about an app. It’s about the voices of the everyday person in America. It’s about silencing those voices. It is about free speech. It is about camouflaging true intentions by creating a false accusation about national security. It’s about building a data monopoly. #tiktokrefugee
