I often share this poem on Dec 21st but posting early for @thewindingroad1's #PromptCombo #PoetryPrompt of #WinterSolstice. A sestet written as a gift for family. This version was handprinted on his antique press by my pal Ralph Vetters in MA. Friends, may your light increase!

Maura, the title is profound as is the life’s journey that each of the locations represent and how seamlessly you draw us to a particular place, a particular emotion ‘The sea was telling me I had to forget in order to rest.’ And yes, pay heed or not!. Captivating. 👏👏
Thanks Catherine for the lovely prompt of invisible, I really like this prompt/theme. I wrote about the first thing that struck me about it and I share my poem here. Titled: 'The sea and its symbols, either pay heed or not.' #PromptCombo. #PoetryPrompt #invisible.

I’d been looking at paintings by Stanley Reckless when I saw your post so I had to add a little something to your #PromptCombo #Reckless this week.

Such a thoughtful way to notice how two "simple" things- shoes and imagination- can give conflict a different focus. Lovely

Love this response to the #promptcombo of #listening from @Soundingvisual
"It is yourself that you listen to"
Full of a sibilant wisdom "watching and waiting"
Hi Anne, sharing my poem written for this lovely prompt of #listening #promptcombo #poetryprompt when I read this prompt, it stayed with me and I wrote this poem today with a very late posting. Thanks for the inspiration
Poem title: The Art of Listening in Difficult Situations.
