New Poetry Video: Who Am I

I absolutely would love your feedback on this poem. Who do you think I am referring to?

My Poetic Journey: Highlights from August 2024

I would call August my regeneration month. The territory was filled with activity. We celebrated the 70th Emancipation Festival with a plethora of exciting activities. I continued to promote work by sharing poems and participating in online events. I also submitted poems to several journals and magazine for review.

Here’s what August looked like for me:

• Pulse Poetry Magazine

I shared two poems in the Healed and Having Fun issue of Pulse Poetry Magazine. I shared Cloud Love and Taking Turns on pages 17 and 18.

• Calling All Poets Series

I performed during the Calling All Poets Series Open Mic on August 2. I'm on from 1:59:40 to 2:02:05, but of course, I encourage you to view to the entire reading to hear the featured readers and other open mic performances.

• Poetry Competition

I joined another She Barz Poetry Competition focused on Mental Health on August 3.

• Hurricane Ernesto

On August 14, Hurricane Ernesto impacted the Virgin Islands. My garden surely took a hit. However, I persevere.

• Poetry Judging

I was one of the judges in a She Barz Competition focused on comedy on August 24, 2024.

• Performance

I performed at Nita Chase’s Poets and Spoken Word Artists Exhaling on the Mic on August 24. 

• Music Blog

I interviewed Stefan about his new album NORI and shared the article on August 24. 

I hope to have lots more to share in September. Of course, if please grab a copy of my book, Be Inspired: Poems by Linette Rabsatt.

Here's a haiku:

earth's heart beats wildly
turbulence dances supreme
rain and thunder roam
