Poet of the week June 27th 2018
From the POETS team we would like to say a huge welcome to all our new members this week, we look forward to interacting with you and engaging in your poems
I have the absolute pleasure this week to celebrate the brilliantly talented Mr +Narian OneMansJourney I am pretty sure just about all of us have been lucky enough to engage with Narian on our own poetry and his, Narian a superb asset to this community and a valued member...and his poetry speaks for itself. I have shared a micro poem he wrote earlier in the week, a simple poem that has many many depths, very well crafted, Well done Narian.
To learn to love someone
without becoming attached to them.
Opens up horizons
one never imagined existed.
