Hello Friends,
I'm so glad I get to share poetry with you on my birthday! At my age, it's at least as good as cake or ice cream.
Happy Birthday to my birthday twins (you know who you are)It's fun getting to share today with you.
The word for padlet today is twin. I'm keeping up with ekphrastic poetry about fine art I viewed this summer that had words embedded in the art. The artwork that this poem is inspired by Rosemari Bernardi's photograph. She's inspired to capture images of antiquated medical specimens. She calls these fragile jars "poetry of forgotten spaces."
Thank you, Tabatha, https://tabathayeatts.blogspot.com/he Opposite of Indifference for hosting the round-up this week.
Happiest of birthdays to you, dear Linda! I love that you celebrated with your delightful birthday poem. Beginning with the declaration "This is my birthday poem" is just perfect. Enjoy the day!
ReplyDeleteHappy, happy birthday, Linda. I love the "all these candles bright" -- a celebration of "at my age" I think. Rosemari Bernardi's photo of the twins is haunting. Your poem gives tribute and an actual poem to her "poetry of forgotten spaces."
ReplyDeleteSending wishes for a delightful birthday and creative year! Hope you had poetry AND cake :)
ReplyDeleteI've been out much of the day and am hoping you've had a fantastic, uproarious, lovely celebration all the day! Happy Birthday, Linda! Love "Our loop around the sun feels right." Best wishes for the next loop!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Linda! I hope your day was great - your poem is celebratory and bright!
ReplyDeleteBirthday words with candles bright. Best wishes, Linda. Enjoy every moment.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Linda! And--wow--your twin poem is dark and beautiful. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWishing you many Belated Returns of the Day Linda, hope it was and is filled with joy! 🦄🎉🌟Beautiful little ditty 💙your loop around, song, and oh so bittersweet twins poem, thanks for all!
ReplyDeleteLinda, Happy Birthday my friend. I hope your candles always burn bright to keep your poetry coming, day or night. The poem you wrote on your padlet based on Bernardi's photo takes me back to college years in the biology studio. It is hauntingly rich in word choice and an amazing poem of forgotten spaces. Your mind is digging deeply into the intricacies of art combined with poetry. I am off now to find out more about this photographer's backgroumd.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that I cannot find information about Bernardi's background or photography. I am curious. Do you have a link?
DeleteI think I led everyone to think that photography is her main thing--she is a printmaker. Find her work here: https://rosemariebernardi.com/statement
Delete"Poetry of forgotten spaces" — oooh, I like that. Happy birthday, Linda! May candles burn brightly for you all weekend (and always!) ❤️
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! You shine with such joy and positivity...we are lucky to be spinning around the sun with you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun birthday poem! I love that we share our special day, but I've never liked having a bday the first week of school. This year I celebrated with a sound bath healing session. Just what I needed!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Linda! And happy back to school!
ReplyDeleteI will echo Marcie's birthday and back-to-school wishes for you, Linda! -Anastasia
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Linda! Thank you again for the awesome opening line, which was masquerading as a so-called clunker!

ReplyDeleteHurray, hurray, a happy (belated) birthday!
