POETRY CORNER

Hosted by Kathabela Wilson

This Thanksgiving we revisit one of our fun Poetry Corners from 2015. It’s a corner filled with mouth watering poems presented by wonderful and talented poets. Kathabela is taking a well deserved rest this week. She will be back in the next weeks with more delicious Poetry Corners picked from the mind-garden of poets all over the world.

of hot spicy spaghetti…
winter midday

the smell of cakes
I wish I hadn’t a cold
