from Poetry Drip Hosted by Paula Curteanu

What is Home to you? Your origin? Or your destination? Somewhere you come from or somewhere you arrive? A place or a person? Just recently, I was lucky enough to be able to safely travel to Romania, the country I was born - for the first time in 2 years. When I got off the plane, the sun was out at midday, sky so blue with a few fluffy cloud and the smell of the earth filling the air was so familiar, that it immediately invaded my chest and with no intention to cry, my eyes welled up. Its as if my cells were being zapped by a giant invisible and familiar magnetic field. Get in touch: Instagram: @paulacurteanu Website: www.wordslam.blog

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011. Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Liezel Graham Liezel Graham Meditations and poetry by Liezel Graham.Consider this a small pause in which to regain your stillness.www.liezelgraham.com Shining Moon: A Speculative Fiction Podcast Deborah L.
