If you want to read some good poetry today you got to head elsewhere. To
- Diane - who has taken over the hosting of this challenge
- and Mimi of
Messymimi's Meanderings (who also supplies us with topics)
They are both writing wonderful, funny,
thought-provoking, ingenious and honestly well written verse. Go and
read.
- Karen of
Baking in a Tornado
has joined us in this crazy pursuit, and promises to join in at least once a month -
maybe that's today!
- SpikesBestMate
often publishes a nice verse in the comments.
- Jenny at
Procrastinating Donkey
who has been a faithful participant, is taking a break due to her husband's passing from
this world. Let's continue to send warm thoughts, good energy, and lots of
prayers her way.
I have something more to ask of you: If you read the
poetry of others, would you please leave a comment. Half - if not more - the
fun of these challenges is receiving the responses of others.
As Memorial Day is not celebrated in Denmark, and I am not one for worshipping soldiers and war efforts in general, no poeming will happen here today.
I could of course compose a poem in honour of everyone who ever died for their country, but I think this is not what this day is all about.

Blogger putter stadig tilfældige kommentarer i spamfængsel. Jeg lover at slippe dem ud hurtigst muligt.
Blogger is still randomly putting comments in spam-jail. I promise to free them as fast as possible.
We don't celebrate Memorial Day here either.
SvarSletEnjoy your day, however you spend it. Healthily and happily I hope.
I wish you the same! And frosty mornings and sunny days in good health!
SletLike you, i do not glory in war. Those who fought to defend their homes and way of life from outside aggressors have my deep respect, as i know they did not undertake it lightly.
SvarSletMay you have a most blessed and beautiful day.
I see what you mean. War in righteous defence of your own land, but when is a war really only that? There's almost always two sides to a war.
SletIt all just makes me cry. WHY do we have wars? They make no sense at all to me.
SvarSlet"I am not one for worshipping soldiers and war efforts"
SvarSletI am not either, so I haven't left a comment at either of those poems.
