Happy Wednesday Mr and Mrs Poets
This week I have the absolute pleasure of celebrating the poetry of our wonderful Miki +Miss Poet Miki. Miki is a superbly talented lady, her writes are always skillfully crafted with amazing pictures to further accentuate her words. The poem I have chosen to share tonight, wonderfully explores the concept of self and who we are. Thank you Miki, for blessing our screens with amazing poetry and more importantly with your very presence :) Well done.
Me myself and I
You can't copy
nor clone me
there is me there’s I
then myself comes by
we're all happy now!
To foresee my move
would be checkmate -
tap my foot
here on the floor
...et voilà!!
a side split galore
rises right up
to my hip 'n more
makes heads spin round
even those with none!
You could ask who is me
and what my wishes be
you'd never get it right
cos it's all inside out
and round 'n about
goodness me
what a fright!
Alas! not even a bullet
as fast as a cricket
could bring peace of mind
to this illusory creature
who wished to please
everyone on her knees
and in the end you see
she lost her love her glory
and even me!

I love this section of this post, it is a great opportunity for me/us to highlight those people who have caught our eye over the week. This week, I want to mention those poets who inspire us consistently, who bless our poetic minds time after time. So much talent, so much soul, so much spirit in their writing, in their support to their peers, in their encouragement of others...
First up is new comer the lovely Yas +Yas Welshman Yas is like a breath of fresh air, such a wonderfully positive attitude and wonderful comments, her poetry is well crafted with wonderful imagery, a delight to pause and read, lovely to have you here Yas.
And next we have +Kenneth Wisseman Kenneth is an amazingly talented writer who isn't afraid to say that he worked hard to get to where he is, he will happily tell you that his iambic pentameters took time to perfect, a very humble poet, his poetry is extremely skillful and his imagery is out of this world, it is an honour to have Kenneth on the POETS team. Well done Kenneth :)
I have been a fan of the poetry of Mr +Malay Nandy since the first day I read his work, his ability to place very specifically crafted imagery onto the page is amazing, a very skilled writer it is a pleasures always to read the work of this fine gentleman, thank you Malay.
And lastly I want to make a special mention to the wonderful Marilyn +Marilyn Dancing Deer Ward not only is Marilyn an amazing poet and photographer, but she is also very much loved by just about everyone across the communities, a mentor too many and friend to others, her presence within the POETS community is very much valued.

This is a link through to Mr Summers profile where you will find details on how to join their next coming haiku course, to quote Alan directly from the comments section,
"We have amazing people come onto the courses. It doesn't matter if someone is very new to haiku, and is amongst more experienced writers. Often the fresh views of a beginner bring up something that others might miss."
This is really worth checking out guys if you are interested in haiku and want to look at growing your skills.
