Yesterday, I finished up a poetry project in another community of writers and wrote a poem about that space. It seemed like the perfect way for me to start this challenge.
Writers’ Hands
Our hands write slices
that move hearts,
create connections.
Our hands write comments
that boost confidence,
build community,
and convey compassion.

Hands do not have to touch

Writers’ hands are magical.
I look forward to writing with you all this month. Thank you for this space to practice, learn, and grow as a writer.
OH! That last verse! Hands do not have to touch to touch! I'm so grateful for how your writing has touched my life, Heather!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same about your writing and wisdom, Marilyn.
ReplyDeleteThis community has such a "magical " effect on us writers. Thank you for this poem that put it distinctly.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Marilyn- that last verse- WOW! It could be a poem all on its own. I so enjoy reading your writing Heather and look forward to seeing them all month.
ReplyDeleteI love how you have chosen to start with such a meaningful poem. I look forward to reading your words this month!
ReplyDeleteI tried to comment earlier with my phone. I was afraid it didn't work, so I am glad I came back to check. I love this poem and how it portrays this month of writing. And yes, those writer's hands are magical!
