Anthology Stanzas

*First stanza below is not mine, but the other two are meant to be 
added to it along with other stanzas (if our stanzas get chosen by the sponsor)

*Woven are these pages in poetic verse,
With bare threads of our deepest feelings,
You will find laughter, tears and remorse,
and words of wisdom, prayer and healings.

Sorrows drip from our pens so poignantly.
Elegantly too our joys are expressed.
We can even imagine things we cannot see.
With imagery, our loveliest thoughts are dressed.

We write for we must, and our words pouring out
can never be stopped, for as our words surge -
like rivers to the ocean we flow; without doubt,
we are one and the same as together we merge.

“Sorrows drip from our pen so poignantly” Congrats on your win! I will incorporate this in my final anthology. The first stanza is superb! Can’t expect anything less from you Andrea!

It's a wonderful feeling to elaborate on what another poet has started ... who knows where the trail of thought may lead? You have the makings of a fine contender with this write.

I truly would have never guessed all three were not written by the same artist.
