A Day of Sharing Words

So, I stole this from my dear friend Jennifer's blog. I thought it was a cool idea and figured "Hey - I dont have to think about what to type today!"

The idea: We have words that touch us, move into our hearts and resonate, creating a feeling, taking us some place- past, present, future- perhaps some place we have never been and may never go, but for whatever reasons, the words pulse in our blood. Meeting new words, new poets, new poems, new ways for my heart to beat, is an intriguing concept. Want to go on this adventure with me? It will be easy to travel along. Many of us already do this sharing; this idea is just to help us find each other and hear the words we have to share.
The Date: Wednesday, November 19.
The Plan: On your blog, post a poem that moves inside you, touches you, reaches you. (quotes and song lyrics also welcome). Include the author (or composer or musician) and source (book, album)- perhaps also the amazon link if there is one. No other revelation about the poem you are choosing is necessary. Perhaps add an image. a photo. a video. a painting. a collage.
The Request: If you are intrigued enough, post on your blog about this Day of Sharing Words- encourage your friends to post. Who couldn’t use a few new poems in their treasury or new songs in their hearts? How cool would it be if we could get dozens of bloggers to share on the same day!? What an anthology that would make!!!
