I have a poetry podcast on Podbean called “Poetry: The Memoir of the Soul“. Let me know what you think!
The post is called ‘We Are Entwined Spirits’. When we feel isolated and lost, Poetry is our medicine.

This podcast has a new poem in it.
Memoirs
Poems are memoirs
Of our human journey
Our life stories
And spiritual quests
In images woven by craft
The history of life in one poem
Comprised of many poems
Each of which is a cell in our ‘bio’
Our biography, graphs
Pictures of words
Poems are lines
Connecting the dots
Bridges to specks of self
From other selves
Poets are space holders
In a matrix
The Tree of Life
The Tree of All
Poem by Barbara Leonhard

Of course, Mother, how can we forget you!

I’m grateful for the subject matter. Gaia is suffering, and only we can reach out to her and minister to her needs. At the very least, we can work with her to co-create a new Earth free of fire, flood, and fear.
I was pleased to get first place in this writing challenge.

Dear reader,
Happy new year!
January on FVR follows the theme of ‘Earth’ and submissions are still open with 12 spaces left for contributors. See the submissions page for the guidelines.
To catch up the first five posts of the year:
This week’s prompt was ‘Gaia’ and here are three wonderful responses:
Gaia – Michelle Rolland
Gaia mother earth goddess
What has our world done
You gave us life force
Over which greed has won
Money won’t listen
So many unchanged
Even when voices of reason
Cry out in pain
Gaia mother earth goddess
You send us your signs
Predicting our imminent demise
Show avarice what it is doing
Change what you can
One small voice can be a shout
For the love…
