Saturday Good Reads

A lot of good things were posted on the web this past week. Here are a few of them.

Poetry

Louise Gallagher at Recover Your Joy read a prompt, read a poem, read another poem, and then wrote one of her own: "River Deep."

Branch” by Erin Kilmer at Together for Good Poetry.

Easter Earthquake” by Sarah Vanderveen at Once by the Pacific. (found her via @godgrrl, Cathleen Falsani)

Bearing Much Fruit” by Maureen Doallas at Writing Without Paper.

Worship” by Nancy at Poems and Prayers. And “The Picture.”

I Can Hardly Imagine,” by Fred Sprinkle at I Force It to Rhyme. And take a look at “Snap Shot’s Lament.”

Our ends,” by Justinian at delight and glory and oddity and light.

"The Language of Honesty at Work in Art" by Marcus Goodyear for The High Calling Blogs is both poetry and prose, and includes the Random Act of Poetry feature with a whole list of links to good poems.

Prose

Henry’s American Dream,” by Billy Coffey for the High Calling. And on his own blog, a son teaches his father gentleness: “Letting Things Happen.”

One Way Road,” by Dyana Herron at The Image Journal.

Time Lost and Found,” by Anne Lamott for Sunset Magazine. (Thanks to Kathleen Overby for the find.)

Mike the Mechanic” by Gordon Atkinson for the High Callings Blogs.

Wings Not Made of Wax,” by Lindsey Crittenden at The Image Journal.

In addition to the poem noted above, Louise Gallagher at Recover Your Joy also had a great prose piece: “Lifted Up.”

And Bridget Chumbley hosted the twice-a-month One Word Blog Carnival, with 39 links to some great posts on "gentleness."

Freakin Fantastic Friday rolls into Super Special Saturday!

Thanks for the callouts -- oh my, a piece of my poetry noted as worth reading.

I am honoured and touched.

Blessings on this gorgeous day.

Thanks, Glynn.

I started working this week and have had very minimal time to read blog posts. This is a great list to refer to.
