 © Amber Fleek, graphic Welcome to Poetry Friday! Linda at TeacherDance is hosting us. She is sharing a poem about kindness by Danusha Laméris. After the events of her week, she invites to collaborate on our own kindness poem. In January, I started a subscription for the Two Sylvia's Weekly Muse through Two Sylvia's Press. Each Sunday, an email appears with a new prompt, writing exercises, plus Q and A. The also include places to submit your work which is usually connected to the one of the prompts. For the cost of four lattes a month, this has been a game changer for my writing life.  This is a post about "if at first you don't succeed. In January, there was a prompt about rivers. The About A Place Journal was open for submissions with a river theme. I dove into the work of writing "Safe Zone" and submitted it. Turns out that this journal didn't take my poem. However, Written Tales was taking poems about "The Human Condition". Today, a copy Of Written Tales, vol. VIII arrived in the mail with "Safe Zone" in it. A bonus is that my friend, Moe Phillips, also has a poem in it the volume. Winners of Poetry BooksAnne Irza-Leggat, Candlewick Press, has graciously offered to send copies of the four poetry books by the authors I interviewed in April. Here are the winners:
