~ thereluctantpoet ~ 3 Comments

I want to thank my ever growing family of followers for supporting my blog. It is one of my great joys to meet so many new and wonderful writers and friends from all over the world!!

I always love it when I can share something that seems wonderful to me with all of you. So, let me introduce you to Storyteller. Please Welcome a new friend and wonderful writer!!

We will be taking a look at her very moving poem “Harmony”. But before we do I would like you to know a little more about her in her own words – I think I will try and get her to license this to me to use also – I Love it.

Please check out Storyteller’s blog!!

They say “Life’s a journey”
I don’t know its true purpose but what I know for sure— it would be nothing without the people in it.

If you are reading this, you’re part of my journey.
My writings are a reflection of my thoughts, experiences, trials, learnings, moments of realisation and belief system.

My Heart is empty

But it still aches

when I hear someone say your name

My Type Of Love! 

~ thereluctantpoet ~ 4 Comments

I found this wonderful poem “My Type Of Love” by Shivee on Wengiegirl.wordpress.com and was very blessed from reading it and I hope you will feel the same.

Please read her full poem – but here is just a “taste” to tempt you for More!!!

“I still advise you to wear a smile and be kind,
be like the rain of happiness in drought, or a bright ray of hope,
share something that spreads in seconds like a little smile and lots of happiness, . . . so pass this small
piece of love, with a big cute smile,
with everyone you know, even with those whom you don’t,
choose whichever form you like a gift, a kiss, a hug or a smile,
or just a lovely poem like mine!

With much Love and a Warm Hug,
Shivee

When you give love,

to someone whom you don’t even knowor to someone you do,it’s so wonderful!

A piece of your core values, your soul you share ,when you show a little care

In whichever form it is

care, respect,

a little favour, a lot of love,

a cute compliment, a warm shakehand,

or just a lovely smile it gives so much of good vibes,

there’s a lot of stress and everyone seems to be so depressed,

I still advice you to wear a smile and be kind,

be like the rain of happiness in drought, or a bright ray of hope,

share something that spreads in seconds like a little smile and lots of happiness,

bad and good things happen,

happiness is free so share it with everybody,

that jobless man who is fallen too many times,

every little child who will sleep hungry tonight,

that orphan…

BACK CATALOGGING THE WORKS OF TANYA CLIFF – WRITER, POET AND FILMMAKER

~ thereluctantpoet ~ 26 Comments

I had no idea what “Back Catalogging” was all about until my friend Mr. S. of Sailorpoet asked if he could Back Catalog my work.  I said sure!  And within a week or so he had finished reading my poems and written his report of the experience and a response poem Continue reading →

Checking in with a Reluctant Poet

~ thereluctantpoet ~ 11 Comments

Today I would like to introduce you to Mr. S., the writer and poet of the blog “Sailorpoet”. If you do not already know Mr. S. I will highly recommend you visit his site and check out his works. I have found My Friend to be a very entertaining and insightful writer whose works are at once impactful, deep, moving, romantic, humorous and just fun to read!

Mr. S. is one of the ringleaders of a growing community of wonderful writers who are connected and sharing with each other to further their skills and for the friendship of being with other like minded souls.

Mr. S. is one of the founding members of “The Inspirators Club” a little club I started for all of those who have provided me with a seed of inspiration for a poem later written by me. I am happy to say this club is steadily growing and Mr. S. is leading the charge to get a Clubhouse.

A perfect example of what a Prince Mr. S. is can be found in his many response and tribute poems to the works of other poets he has discovered and read. Mr. S. has a deep respect and dedication to the writings of others and likes to delve deep into the back catalog of writers. I was extremely blessed to have him do that for me!

Mr. S. and I share a fun connection that was started as a result of his comment on a post by DavyD about what time of day was the best time to write. And as a result He started a Meme of the poem I wrote “The Backside Of The Night”.

I have been “Reluctant” to reblog the piece he wrote about me but hope that you will focus on the words and thoughts of Mr.S. and make a definite effort to check out all of his works!!

ALLIE’S NOTE TO NOAH

~ thereluctantpoet ~ 17 Comments

My Dear Friend Gina/Singledust has been writing a beautiful, delicate and romantic series of poems entitled “Sweet Whispers” which I want to highly recommend to you.  Please investigate this series and Her other works!

Gina and I have previously collaborated on a little “Duet” called “Allie’s Song for Noah“.  Her poem “Let Me” spoke to my heart and I brashly interlaced some of my words at the end of her lines which ended up in our posts as, “Allie’s Song For Noah”.  This was a little imaginative writing as a take off on a supposed alternate ending to “The Notebook”.  Gina was generous and gracious enough to grant permission to post that “duet” as a collaboration.

After reading Gina’s “Sweet Whispers #8” I felt I needed to warn her that her poem was whispering to my heart.  So I was once again inspired to continue our little collaboration on another “Duet” in “The Notebook” vein. Continue reading →
