The Cove's Highlight Of The Day Thread

God's children

Ben vindo

To a beautiful day

Let's not waste that day

By sleep in

If we sleep in we will

Not sleep at night

So we must enjoy this day

That our father gave to us

Here on earth

yes we are having the Summer

Here on earth

that our father create for us

With his holy hands

Also We took a look in the sky

And there was no sign of rain

We don't like the rain at all

Because when it is raining

There is lighting and thunder

The noise of lightning and thunder

Wake

us up when we are sleeping During the night

And then we have a real problem

Going back to sleep

Also we hear the rain coming down very fast

Today we spend our day walking in the beach

For a little while

Then we decided to go for a swim

We are good swimmers

We don't go into the deep area

Because the deep area is not for us

Because we are not a strong swimmer

Also we could drawn if we go into the deep

And also we are not planning to die

We are only teenagers now

And we will enjoy it while we can

Because one day our teenager life

Will be over

And then we will start our adult lives

Also at night before we go to bed

We say prayers to each other

At our teenager lives we had our first communion

Also in our communion

We had cried out of joy

Also we felt very emotional

We never forgot that day

Also during that day

Our father had teach us how to pray

And we all had prayed together for one hour

We know that it was amazing

AIso we are all brothers

And we enjoy each other's company

Also we love each other very much

Also we have respect for each other

We never fight with each other

Now we sad goodbye to Summer

And our father brought us the fall

We just hate the fall

Because we have to put our Summer clothes away

And our running shoes away

And we started to wear our Winter clothes

And we needed to wear also our Winter boots

And our Winter jacket

We went for a walk in the park during the fall

The trees had changed its color

From green to golden brown

Also the trees were naked already for the Winter

The dead leaves from the trees had fallen in the ground

Also we didn't had any sun during the fall

We only had grey sky

That we all hate

Because it make us depress

Also the birds had migrated south for the Winter

We Hated that very much

Also during the Fall we miss the birds

Father I will always love you

Until the day I die

Father thanks for keeping me

Alive each day here on earth

Also I am so happy that

Every day during the Summer

You bring me the sun that I

Love very much

Yes I am very lucky

That I live on earth

Yes the earth is beautiful

The way you have created with you

Holy hands

You had made the beautiful blue sky

Before you made me

Also you had created the ocean

For me to go and have a swim

Also you have created the beautiful

Birds

Also father I love when the birds sing

There tune

Yes we already put the winter away

That season is the one I hate

Very much

Also father please do me a favor

Don't give me the rainy days

My highlight is the profound sense of gratitude I feel to just be here. Three years ago, I wasn't sure if my family and I would safely cope with the pandemic from our tiny studio apartment in Manhattan. My daughter and husband were in high risk groups and for that matter, so was I. It was mayhem in Manhattan. As I look out my window, feel the spring breezes, hear the birds, see the trees and the spectacular sky, my heart is full. This is bliss.

I made a career change that was scary at first but it's been incredibly rewarding. It's heavily focused on community building and promoting local artists and businesses in my hometown. My current project is coordinating an art show and helping emerging artists showcase their work. I am LOVING it! I also got some poetry accepted to Kelp Journal's The Wave. Wooohooo!

My highlight is remembering I have my sight, I was blind from a car accident for a while. Everyday I’m grateful to have it back so I can take in life’s beauty, and although I write about dark things (as well as love I may add) as I suffer with Bipolar. I’m still very grateful to have my vision, everyday it reminds me how lucky I am. And that I’m able to see to write poetry and lyrics which I enjoy so much and write as a therapy and a way of expressing my emotions.

After two months of getting lost in work (day job), I have found my way back to the COVE. I really need to make daily visits, as the COVE is soul food. My day job pays the bills, and it can be demanding, but when I am old and gray and sitting in my rocker, I won't be saying, "I wish I spent more time on the day job" . Nope, and I don't want to say "I wish I spent more time in the COVE". It's up to me, but at least I can see a path forward. For that I am grateful!

I got accepted to be a reader for a poetry journal. It's voluntary but I'm super excited for it!

I bought a new car today!

My highlight of the day is that I've got my first proper poetry gig! It's not a paid gig but I'm happy somebody wants to listen to my work. 3 x 15 minute sets, so I better get memorising them poems! My new friend Michael who organises my usual open mic has organised it and asked me to participate. Probably a 2nd gig in the summer. First one is 24th April! It's in the White Swan pub in Hebden Bridge. I'm sure I'll have a few friends supporting me. I'm excited and a bit scared! I've bought my own mic so I'll be able to record professional recordings for the Poetry Cove Radio now!

17 months clean of my very toxic/self destructive coping mechanism!

Yesterday I got booked for my first fiverr gig beta reading someone’s poem. It came with mixed feelings of excitement and oh god, at a time when the Cove has never been busier behind the scenes!

Anyway spent the day beta reading and typing up my report and am chuffed to have gotten a 5* review and $20 ($15 for the service and a $5 tip.)

Keep chasing your dreams, it IS possible to do what you love and make money doing it!

Grayston Unity open mic went really well with my new poems. Thanks for all your help and encouragement guys! Really helps me to feel confident about my poetry, especially when trying to get them over in a busy pub!

I lost my tablet and haven't been accessing the cove for awhile. Fixed up my password to reconnect a week or so ago. Am feeling relaxed and inspired on this public holiday my highlight for today. May be able to work up a

Saw an old friend today who I'd somehow lost touch with, (don't know how that's possible nowadays but). I knew he lost his mum a few months ago, and he's kind of on his own. I saw him and he looked great, starting a new computer programming course and seeming positive.

For me this is the highlight so far today.

I need to get myself to a workshop. I am waint on a paycheck so that I can sign up for a Poetry Cove class. I love the energy I find when surrounded by other poets. I am eager to learn, to explore, and ultimately to grow. Sending my best to all.

@Bendy and @Marc beat me to the punch with this one, but I hosted my first poetry workshop since my early Bachelor's degree studies, and I'm very excited to boast how well it went. Also, thank you to @Masie as well for attending, don't think I forgot you too. Everyone's poems were absolutely amazing and it was great getting to know all of your, and hear all your different writing styles. Definitely was an enlightening and fortuitous day for me. Thank you to everyone for taking it easy on me as well. I know my host skills are a tad rusty hehe.

Went to my first Poetry Workshop.

Was alot of fun.

And have some clarity on what I want to work on.

Also the vibe help out ALOT!!!!!!!

It's awesome to actually meet poets that isn't you and a notebook page.

Glad I miss church for this,as I could not afford miss on my first poetry workshop.

I already miss out on alot of things.

Glad I didn't miss out on this one and would love to attend another one,if there's one happening in upcoming months.
