October Poetry Activities and Day 31 Haunted Poem
My October was poetically awesome! I wrote and shared poems with local, regional, and international audiences. This month has been the busiest for me as a writer and I enjoyed every moment.
Pulse Poetry Magazine
I shared two pieces in the October issue of Pulse Poetry Magazine, Cohesion and Honeybee. This issue was all about love and I hope my pieces embodied it! I'm so excited that Akin Chinnery and Toyer Fahie are also featured in this issue.
Worcestershire LitFest & Fringe Promptober
I participated in this daily challenge. Some pieces, words and videos, are shared on this blog. I had the most fun with Sweet.
Calling All Poets Series
I performed during the Calling All Poets Series First Friday reading on October 4, 2024. I shared Counting and natural. I'm on from 1:35:30 to 1:37:16.
Reading Filled Sunday, October 6, 2024
On October 6, 2024, I shared poems in three readings: Ooh Beehive, Poetry Global Network, and Cultivating Voices Live Poetry. You can see the Cultivating Voices Live Poetry reading here. I'm on from 34:56 to 37:22.
YouTube Uploads
I uploaded these poems:
One Hand
I played with our saying, "One hand can't clap." I think I went outside of this popular adage and expressed some hurt that I have been managing. This is what poetry is for - to share these concerns creatively!
sinking
I sang the first line of this poem, the first line of the chorus from "The Sinking Ship" by Gypsy. It was for Promptober Day 11.
Exhaust
I think I had more fun creating the video than writing the poem.
Telephone
This poem was written for Promptober Day 21 and for our local Heroes and Foreparents Day. I acknowledge my mother, grandfathers, and other family members in this piece.
Fountain
I felt more confident making this video because I had good practice with video editing.
Performances
I shared my performances at the Ivan Dawson Primary School and the Ebenezer Thomas Primary School for Reading is Fun Week 2024.
