#WritersCoffeeClub 21. Share your most poetic line.

I'm either writing actual poems or prose, so here's a poem.

In the dark of night
Deep within a maze
A void where truth dies
And all seems lost

A flicker
A glimmer
Spark of what could be

If one seizes a moral compass
And navigates to eternity
Speaks out against the lies
Rallying beneath the stars

To prove a world that was stolen
Can still be ours

keep silent . .
the most beautiful voice ,
is the talk of your hand
on the table.

قليل من الصمت . . ياجاهلة
فأجمل من كل هذا الحديث
حديث يديك
على الطاولة

It's #WorldPoetryDay. What poem would you recommend that we read? Mine is Allen Ginsberg's, "A Supermarket in California." Here's a few lines & a link to the whole poem:

I saw you, Walt Whitman, childless, lonely old grubber, poking among the meats in the refrigerator and eyeing the grocery boys.
I heard you asking questions of each: Who killed the pork chops? What price bananas? Are you my Angel?

The Poetry FoundationA Supermarket in CaliforniaWhat thoughts I have of you tonight, Walt Whitman, for I walked down the sidestreets under the trees with a headache self-conscious looking at the full moon.

How to celebrate World Poetry Day today? Hey, you could read some poetry!

An excerpt from "Grace" by James Crews:

Lately, I think it’s grace that makes us
push up through the soil of our lives
like the blades of a daffodil that may
take weeks to bloom, but at least
senses that first moment of softening
warmth in the earth, and slices through
old leaves to meet it. What a waste
a closed heart is,

For #worldpoetryday this is from Carol Ann Duffy’s poem ‘Tea’. Dominant Industry’s Earl Grey Tea is possibly my favourite orange ink. It’s a beautiful shader.

“I like pouring your tea, lifting
the heavy pot, and tipping it up,
so the fragrant liquid streams in your china cup”
