I mentioned at the end of my last post that the Velveteen Rabbi has a powerful set of poems in her new chapbook, chaplainbook. I want to mention a couple of poetry blogs you may also enjoy. At Living Poetry, poet and poetry-lover Amy shares some outstanding poetry finds and gives her insight into what they mean and/or why she likes them. And at a small stone, Fiona's daily one-liners are exquisite nutshells of fine writing. I myself have not written poetry since December when the killing frost of love loss set in deep and as yet no pale green tendrils have ventured into the light. Maybe the answer lies here.
Oo, thanks for mentioning *a small stone* - looks like a great find!
It's funny, but I think love lost has been more of a creative boost for me than love found. But when I'm writing, I'm happy, no matter what.

Used to be that way for me, too, but there's only so much you can go through before it robs your spirit. Poetry requires sensitivity, not a tough hide.

Thinking about this... maybe it was just the particulars of this relationship situation.
