Sunrise Forthcoming (video poem)

This poem, “Sunrise Forthcoming,” was first shared one year ago this weekend. To celebrate the one-year anniversary of the first poem in my Being a Woman – Forthcoming Poetry Collection, I created a video with my poetry reading and my photographs. Enjoy! Thank you for visiting, viewing, and listening. Be well. ๐Ÿ’— Michele

A special thank you to Gobblers Masticadores and editor, J RE Crivello for publishing my poem, “Feeling the Squeeze.”

A trusty sidekick would also be quite nice for the wc walking stranger. ๐Ÿด I am glad I forgot to add a song – your selection is perfect. I am familiar. Very good. ๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

    1. A “mindfulness stress reliever” – love that! My Fitbit died months ago. Maybe I worked it too hard – should have spent more time with that option. ๐Ÿ˜† Thank you, Kym, for always sharing an uplifting and creative perspective. ๐Ÿ˜Š Album cover? Fantastic! You have given me two avenues to explore. haha You make me want to skip down the road! ๐Ÿ˜„ I will do my absolute best. You too! โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒจ๏ธ ๐ŸŒณStay cozy and warm.

    1. Thank you, Jaya. Your comments are magical! What I love most about the opening stanza is that it references other poems from previous collections. It did feel a bit of magic writing it. โœจ Not a need-to-know detail for reading, but it was pleasing to write.

      1. Almost Feb! Oh my gosh! Thanks for reminding me… I need to set up my 2022 files and clear out the old, which means taxes are just around the corner. Ugh! ๐Ÿ˜† Sorry to confuse with my video intro – my photos in video, her illustrations are in the books. Thank you for appreciating! ๐Ÿ˜Š

      1. Itโ€™s so great to see you, too. Youโ€™re welcome! You do the same for me! This year started with challenges and then a wonderful visit to Washington state to love on my youngest son, daughter-in-law, and little granddaughter. Iโ€™m slowly finding my way of life again. ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿฅฐโค๏ธ
