WRITER’S LINK: “Renewal”

Greetings once again Islanders!

It’s Tuesday, 12:01 AM on the U.S. east coast. Here is the post to which you can submit your links in the comments section. Remember, only post the link to your work here — as a ‘comment’, and please make certain your link is accurate.

If you’re new, we’re glad you’ve come — all the details of ‘How To Come Ashore’ are posted in the sidebar. If you’ve returned, welcome back!

Writers Island is your island. Please feel free to let us all know what you want and need on the island to make it a nurturing experience. Your suggestions will be submitted to the island community for consideration.

Now, find yourself a comfortable place to settle in, there is food and drink for everyone — the kind that nourishes your spirit. Then later, take a walk into the foothills just above the west beach — it’s beautiful there among the trees.  It’s a great place to take in the seasonal change — and read your fellow islanders’ contributions to this week’s prompt, “Renewal”.

The changing seasons are always beautiful here on the island, and the breezes are aways cool… so please, relax, express yourself, and let these cool breezes carry your words.

RENEW — fellow islanders! 😉

    it was difficult to find a poem with the word renewal… but I was successful with the word renew in this clever poem by Antonio Bellotti about a one year poet’s anniversary with a typewriter

    I have to say, I am really enjoying writing a poem BEFORE I check the prompt here on the island. It makes for a very interesting twist on what I have written. Here it is Hurry, Hurry, Step Right Up

    Comments & critique welcome, encouraged, even!

    Umm. A clarification. I didn’t mean adult or intense when I wrote graphic. It is a mild-mannered offering.

    Not even a librarian would be offended. 🙂

    No problem if it were adult or intense. You might, out of courtesy, want to alert that its adult content.

    That said, this is a free space for writers to express themselves — no censorship of content… with this caveat: this island community will not abide prurient sexual violence, pedophilia, or bestiality.

    However, I don’t foresee that ever being an issue. We’re adults on Writers Island… we can self-censor. Besides, we seem to attract a quality group! 😉

    Just when we think we have learned lessons we discover that we need a sort of booster shot, and renewal. This beginning of a series of poems addresses that relearning of lessons over and over.

    Well, during the week I struggled with coming up with something on theme that I liked, and was starting to feel a little surly about it all. But then this morning inspiration finally struck and this is what came of it, a companion piece to a poem I wrote a couple of weeks ago. Great prompt!

    Rob, thanks for the encouragement. Every island has a dark corner – a cave perhaps, with a quirky, odd individual as the inhabitant. I guess I am that guy. I just hope the stories I tell are worth the risk of a visit.

    Darn. Late again. Here it is though….Strange chain of thought…”Renewal” became “clean slate,” which became “blank page,” which became “story.”

    Let me know what you think…
