Ever-Rising Star

Collage created by Kerry O'Connor


Let your face be a canvas

An ever-rising star

Radiant!

Make a bold statement

In black & white

You are unique

Born to express yourself

Trust in every new tomorrow

Discover the secret of Love

It’s your time to smile

Say goodbye & live well

A dream come true



I had to create something special for the final Music with Marian challenge in the Imaginary Garden. Thus I set upon an old magazine to find a poem amid the words.
Marian and I go back to before the inception of Real Toads. We met by total accident, or fate.. bumped into one another on the blogs and stuck together through thick and thin. Her blog runaway sentence is one of the first I discovered, when I was entirely new to the forum of online poetry publishing. It has remained true to Marian's vision and her writing is a constant source of  inspiration to me personally, as well as to countless poets and fellow toads.

Thank you so much, sister-poet, for all and everything you are.

I recently 'notebooked' this poem from my archives, one of my early pieces written back when I first discovered the magical world of internet poetry. I can hardly believe that was almost a decade ago.
I dedicate this post to all my wonderful friends with 'steady arms', for the kind support you have given me all these years.
