I so enjoyed this poem yesterday from Gloriana Casey, one of the poets with work in Migraine Expressions, that I wanted to share and spread its message.
“VOICE OF THE LIBERTY BELL”
by Gloriana Casey for 7 /4/ 2009
In Philadelphia, I live,
a grand and giant bell.
And long my life, and journeys made.
the stories I can tell. (more…)
For all poets, here’s something to explore: a daily prompt challenge at the Writer’s Digest Poetic Asides blog. Sounds like you can still catch up for April!
It’s National Poetry Month — are you celebrating poetry? Writing some? Reading it?
If you’re a migraine poet, enter Teri Robert’s 2009 Putting Our Heads Together contest. The deadline is April 17.
Here’s my mind-poem from last evening’s beach walk:
urgently inhaling sun-sea-air energy
painting the scene on a memory canvas
with sounds and smells
for future reference
I wanted to publish a book of written and visual art, creative expressions of people who live with migraine, to help promote awareness and understanding of it. The book is done. Now I want to talk about it, feature some of the work, writers and artists, and provide a place for anyone with an interest in the book, migraine, other chronic pain issues, art, poetry, essays, photography, publishing, health and advocacy issues, and maybe even a sprinkling of current events and politics, to connect. Welcome to this migraine and life journey!
