An Exercise in Poetic Camaraderie

Blog Posted:7/13/2021 7:13:00 AM

Some of you may know that I no longer participate in contests. However, in the spirit of poetic camaraderie, I'd like to offer everyone a chance to list THREE words that you associate with writing poetry. No one's list will be judged. It's just a friendly exercise that I think could be fun. Negative comments will be deleted. I'll begin with the words...Reflective... Emotional... Imaginative

Jenna, thank you for this positive and collaborative endeavor... what a delight it was to read the answers of our fellow poets and your affirming and insightful responses. My three words are: enlightening, edifying, and euphonious.

Visceral, liberating, revealing

Joanna
Daniel

Date: 7/17/2021 2:24:00 AM

Cathartic, soul-searching, fluid:)

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/17/2021 5:15:00 AM

Jo, your poetry always flows like a tranquil river. Poets who write to heal their wounds use poetry as a cathartic tonic, putting into words what our hearts are feeling. Thanks so much for joining in with us.

Barbara

Introspective, painting, thoughtful

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/17/2021 5:13:00 AM

Hi Barbara. your word choices remind me of a lovely painting... a pastoral scene. To read the way poets would describe such a scene would be an interesting project. Thank you for your contribution.

Heya Jenna my 3 Favourites ~ Unflinching ~ Deep ~ Searching

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/16/2021 6:50:00 PM

How kind are your responses, David. There is only One qualified to judge us. I’ll be around at least for a while. Thank you.

David Kavanagh
Date: 7/16/2021 4:41:00 PM

You sum me up from 3 words Jenna, what incredible discernment, and I’m delighted you don’t judge me, I believe you may well have outgrown the soups contests, but certainly hope you stick around, this site needs the balance you bring, as well as your inimitable poems, cheers David

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/16/2021 2:54:00 PM

David, you courageously write about your beliefs, standing your ground. Darkness does not tether your thoughts as you search for answers. Thanks for responding to my blog.

passion - embraces - reality

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/16/2021 4:31:00 AM

Your choices are a theme set in which passion(either romantic or love of poetry)intertwines with the realities in life. A common 'wishful thinking' or fantasy foundation for poems. Thanks for your ideas.

Jenna, Original, forgiveful, apocryphal.. -QtR

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/15/2021 10:10:00 AM

ha ha Richard. It's open mike at the PS keyboard. You are free to choose any words you prefer. Makes one think of the possibilities!

Quoth Theraven
Date: 7/15/2021 10:00:00 AM

Hi Jenna, All the good ones were already taken. :] -R

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/15/2021 4:36:00 AM

Originality shows a poet's style and imagination. His/her use of vocabulary in proper context, whether fictional or reality, enhances their creative ability. Not sure why forgiveness is important to you in developing poetry. Perhaps you could go into a little depth of this choice? Thanks for adding your thoughts, Richard.

Simon
Hamill

Date: 7/14/2021 3:28:00 PM

Release, expression, thankful,

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/14/2021 5:53:00 PM

Good choices, Simon. Poetry really is a great way to express ourselves, release emotions and for these gifts we should be grateful.

Jcb
Brul

Date: 7/14/2021 6:58:00 AM

Spontaneous, mysterious, glorious.

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/14/2021 11:49:00 AM

I totally understand, Milt. When a spark ignites, build a fire.

L Milton Hankins
Date: 7/14/2021 10:55:00 AM

Excuse me for interrupting, Jenna, but when this happens ("off on a tangent to write") you are experiencing a bit of compulsion, which is what I was referring to earlier.

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/14/2021 10:06:00 AM

Good words, JCB. Often, I've heard lyrics or a line in a movie and was off on a tangent to write! Leaving a little intrigue and mystery allows the reader to use their imagination. Thank you for your thoughts.

Tania
Kitchin

Date: 7/14/2021 3:30:00 AM

Creative, passionate, soulful

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/14/2021 5:05:00 AM

Tania, your poetry reflects your word choices and so much more. Your nature Haiku are wonderfully expressive. Thanks for taking part.

Beata
Agustin

Date: 7/14/2021 12:05:00 AM

Thanks for this poetically-inspired venture. Three words that I associate with poetry: spirituality, Scriptures, salvation. God bless you.

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/14/2021 5:04:00 AM

Your poetry reflects your faith, and is a testament to His love. I'm delighted that you participated, Beata. Thank you.

Suzette
Richards

Date: 7/13/2021 11:43:00 PM

Challenge accepted, Jenna (lower down in the comments thread). See my elegy: He has a name.

Suzette Richards
Date: 7/14/2021 5:14:00 AM

:))

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/14/2021 5:03:00 AM

Nicely done, Suzette. I've read your poem and left a comment for you.

Harry
Horsman

Date: 7/13/2021 9:28:00 PM

thought, Mask, wishful.

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/14/2021 10:04:00 AM

No, Harry, you have not spoiled anything. In fact, I'm glad you opened up about wearing a mask, and I understand about being shy. Poetry gives us the courage to pen what we cannot verbally convey. Wishful thinking, and fantasies we have are set free in our poems. Thank you for returning to explain. It may help others to remove their mask; their veil and write more freely.

Harry Horsman
Date: 7/14/2021 8:27:00 AM

Jenna it's complicated, Being extremely shy, poetry was and to a degree still is my mask, as for wishful, imagination usually comes with wishful thinking. Hope i have not spoiled the blog Jenna, can delete if you want.

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/14/2021 5:01:00 AM

I understand 'thought,' but your other two choices are somewhat ambiguous to me, Harry. Can you clarify those two selections for us?

Unseeking
Seeker

Date: 7/13/2021 7:30:00 PM

resonance, surrender, soulful

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/14/2021 10:01:00 AM

ah, I see. Give in to where our thoughts lead, and often it's in a direction we never intended to travel.

Unseeking Seeker
Date: 7/14/2021 6:45:00 AM

Surrender? Well … as I’ve said in different poems, ‘wherefrom came that exalted thought, that inspiration with it brought?’ Surrender of lower mind, of doership, enables us to connect with higher mind, with the universe.

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/14/2021 4:55:00 AM

The feelings that resonate within us have the need to surface on paper. Surrender? Would you care to explain your reason for choosing this one, Seeker?

L Milton
Hankins

Date: 7/13/2021 6:37:00 PM

Hmmm...this requires a lot of thought, but I think I would have to say: compulsion, creativity, and comfort. Thanks, Jenna. This was a fine, positive exercise.

L Milton Hankins
Date: 7/14/2021 10:50:00 AM

Hmmm...I was thinking of the true meaning of creativity, Jenna. Compulsion, yes, I need to write, I am compelled to express my inner feelings on the page...not necessarily "what flows through the mind at the moment" but sometimes. Comfort. Yeah, I receive an inner comfort and contentment from writing, and I hope sometimes I bring comfort to others with what I write. Thanks.

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/14/2021 4:48:00 AM

Creativity...of course. Compulsion? The need to write what flows through the mind at the moment? Comfort? That's a tricky one. Do you write only what feels comforting to you. I think not, for I've read some of your 'out of the box' poems. Thanks for joining, Milt.

Kim
Rodrigues

Date: 7/13/2021 2:47:00 PM

Hope you don’t mind, Jenna, but what a fun topic. I enjoyed reading every response! :)

Jan Allison
Date: 7/13/2021 4:35:00 PM

How kind of you to comment to every contributor Kim:-) hugs jan xx

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/13/2021 3:50:00 PM

I don’t mind at all that you offered your thoughts on so many comments. It all adds to the friendly atmosphere poets should share as encouragement to each other

Kim
Rodrigues

Date: 7/13/2021 2:37:00 PM

Cathartic, diary, images

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/13/2021 3:52:00 PM

Great qualities, Kim. Thanks for taking part in our poetic values survey.

Beryl
Edmonds

Date: 7/13/2021 12:57:00 PM

Fantasy, romanticism, animation

Kim Rodrigues
Date: 7/13/2021 2:37:00 PM

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/13/2021 1:10:00 PM

I can see you are a true romantic, Belle. One need only to read you to gain that knowledge. Animation shown in a poem breathes life into its meaning. Often that is helped by dialogue. How nice that you've joined us. Thanks so much.

ARTFUL... PURPOSEFUL... AND INSPIRATIONAL....

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/13/2021 5:47:00 PM

Noted and appreciated, Robert. Thank you for returning to add Dedication. Many of us on the site are dedicated to writing poetry that appeals to our fellow artists.

Robert Lindley
Date: 7/13/2021 4:04:00 PM

Thank you Jenna and Kim, I wanted to add -- "DEDICATION"- but three was the limit given..

Kim Rodrigues
Date: 7/13/2021 2:37:00 PM

Love artful!

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/13/2021 1:08:00 PM

Artfully inspirational poetry is a gift to readers. I feel every line serves a purpose, although a different one to each who reads it. Thanks for your input, Robert.

Mark
Koplin

Date: 7/13/2021 12:02:00 PM

Authentic, loyal and truthful.

Kim Rodrigues
Date: 7/13/2021 2:37:00 PM

Two thumbs up!

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/13/2021 12:21:00 PM

Three qualities everyone should strive to achieve, even in poetry. Thank you for your additions, Mark.

Suzette
Richards

Date: 7/13/2021 10:26:00 AM

The 3 "c's" for me: cathartic, courage, calming. Loved the comments below. Thanks for this post, Jenna :))

Kim Rodrigues
Date: 7/13/2021 2:38:00 PM

I wrote cathartic too! So true!

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/13/2021 12:20:00 PM

Good! Release those emotions with courage and enter a peaceful realm. Let us know when you've posted.

Suzette Richards
Date: 7/13/2021 11:54:00 AM

Challenge accepted, Jenna ... :))

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/13/2021 11:19:00 AM

All three used in one poetic creation would be very interesting. Thanks for joining in with us, Suzette.

Brian
Strand

Date: 7/13/2021 9:57:00 AM

recite image poiema would be my three Jenna

Kim Rodrigues
Date: 7/13/2021 2:40:00 PM

I had to look up poiema. I knew your response would be interesting.

Brian Strand
Date: 7/13/2021 10:18:00 AM

Yes Jenna,imho they are the apex of our art,a unique happening each time much like a viewing of a painting or interactive blog like this one

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/13/2021 10:09:00 AM

Do you prefer to hear poems recited aloud, Brian? Some people can comprehend the context of a poem if they hear it rather than read it. Thanks for your participation.

Subimal
Sinha-Roy

Date: 7/13/2021 9:42:00 AM

Soul-searching, imagism, reflective

Kim Rodrigues
Date: 7/13/2021 2:41:00 PM

That is truly you, Subimal!

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/13/2021 10:08:00 AM

All wonderful options to expose a poet's inner qualities. Thank you for adding your characteristics to our lists, Subimal.

Marilene
Evans

Date: 7/13/2021 9:23:00 AM

My three words..... expressive, imaginative, delightful.... Have a great day, Jenna!

Kim Rodrigues
Date: 7/13/2021 2:42:00 PM

Ooh…delightful! Wonderful!

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/13/2021 10:05:00 AM

Your selections are all encompassing of what makes interesting poetry. Thank you for joining in with your words, Marilene.

Tom
Cunningham

Date: 7/13/2021 8:48:00 AM

Here's my three, inspiration, compassion and humour Tom

Kim Rodrigues
Date: 7/13/2021 2:42:00 PM

Love it! You, Tom are truly inspired and quite funny!

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/13/2021 8:54:00 AM

Thanks for sharing your wise preferences, Tom. You are equally skilled at writing all three genre'.

Constance
La France

Date: 7/13/2021 8:47:00 AM

Jenna, my three words are spiritual, artistic, healing... thanks for the positive blog ~ love and serenity _Constance

Kim Rodrigues
Date: 7/13/2021 2:43:00 PM

Wonderful!

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/13/2021 8:53:00 AM

Your choice of words I always equate with you, Constance, but they do not define you. You're welcome for acknowledging this as a positive blog. Lately, some open a door to discord and friction, and I want none of that here. Thanks so much for leaving your thoughts.

Eve
Roper

Date: 7/13/2021 8:39:00 AM

art, release, healing

Kim Rodrigues
Date: 7/13/2021 2:43:00 PM

Healing truly fits the poetic bill! I wish that would help my Dad. So heartbroken. Hurts my heart!

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/13/2021 8:49:00 AM

Eve, as sorrowful as some poems tend to be, I have found that what I hold as some of my best poetry was written while under some kind of duress or emotional turmoil. Thanks for taking part in this exercise.

Jan
Allison

Date: 7/13/2021 8:35:00 AM

what a lovely idea - these are my 3 words "escapism, therapeutic, FUN"! It will be interesting to see the thoughts of other poets Jenna:-) hugs Jan xx

Kim Rodrigues
Date: 7/13/2021 2:44:00 PM

Cool trio, Jan!

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/13/2021 11:38:00 AM

I know seeing my thoughts in written words has often served as a therapeutic release for my troubles. Thank you for sharing the information and hope your hubby is well. Silly poems make us all smile, so thanks for your offerings.

Jan Allison
Date: 7/13/2021 11:23:00 AM

Hi Jenna I dont think you know about my poetry journey, I never wrote at all until Nov 2013, My first poem was splendid isolation, written when my hubby was in cancer surgery so yes starting writing has helped me through the most challenging times in my life, I use it to escape the complexities of life so it is my form of escape and is therapeutic.. and yes I want to have FUN hence i write silly poems to make folk smile

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/13/2021 8:47:00 AM

Thanks, Jan. I knew one of your choices would be fun or humorous, but your other two were a surprise for me. It shows your depth, and I know you can write on any level...though your limericks always entertain us.

Kim
Merryman

Date: 7/13/2021 8:30:00 AM

Creative, soulful, and entertaining.

Kim Rodrigues
Date: 7/13/2021 2:44:00 PM

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/13/2021 8:44:00 AM

Definitely. Kim. I agree with your summation. Thanks for commenting.

Rama, sweet how beautiful shows up :)

Jenna Logan
Date: 7/13/2021 8:43:00 AM

Good choices, Rama. Poetry should be all three. Thanks for your thoughts.
