Painting: “Poetry Reading”
by Beryl Cook

Music: “Let ’em In”
by Paul McCartney and Wings

Hello, and welcome back to Poetry Wednesday 10/08/08. You can sign in today and take the tour thru Thursday, so take your time.

I’ll be your hostess again this week. My sister, Sans Souci, is on a break, putting together her own poetry book, but she will check in.  

Before we get started, please make sure that your post has a link to get back to this page to make it easier to take the tour:

1) Copy and paste the following link that I have provided for you from this page to somewhere on your poetry post. 

Click here to return to the Poetry Wednesday tour on Lauritasita’s page

 2) Leave the link of your poetry post in the comments section below. This is the link guests will click on to read your poem (see my post below as an example).

I’m going to start things off this week with a poem from the Old Testament called, “A Woman of Valor”, which is traditionally recited by a Jewish husband to his wife before sitting down to a Shabbat Friday evening meal. By the way, the woman in the photograph is my mother. I hope you enjoy this.

The pies are done ! Enjoy the tour.

Loretta, thank you so much for helping me figure out who the artist of the painting was !

Let Em In – Wings

edit delete reply lauritasita wrote on Oct 6, ’08 The picture above had no description, but I’ll keep checking. It does belong to some school web site, but there is no infomration on the picture. Sorry.

delete reply forgetmenot525 wrote on Oct 6, ’08 lauritasita said The picture above had no description I could be totally wrong but the painting looks like a Beryl Cook, I did a ‘Art Sunday’ on her a while ago. There are a few people who have since copied her style but it looks like her work

delete reply dianahopeless wrote on Oct 8, ’08 For the first time, I was unable to visit everyone’s poetry last week. I am really looking forward to it this week. I love poetry, and really look forward to Wednesdays. Thank you so much for hosting Laurita! Normally I post one of my own, but this week I found a special one – to honor and remember a friend that died this last weekend. Hope you enjoy. http://dianahopeless.multiply.com/journal/item/401/Poetry_Wednesday

edit delete reply lauritasita wrote on Oct 8, ’08 Diana, take your time to read. That’s why I put out the sign in page on Mondays. This way, everyone can read by Wednesday. I will leave the sign in page with everyone’s links up all week, but PLEASE don’t post anything new past Thursday. Just hold it until my new sign in page is up the following week. Thanks, Laurita

delete reply forgetmenot525 wrote on Oct 8, ’08 Thanks for hosting Laurita, enjoyed the tour this week. A couple of people have said they’re unable to view my page. Think I’ve said this before but I had a few problems a while back and now most of my posts are for network only. I thought that every one who participates in this is in my network but if you’re not then I’m happy to become a contact which will allow you to see the site.

edit delete reply lauritasita wrote on Oct 9, ’08, edited on Oct 9, ’08 Loretta, I haven’t had a problem viewing your posts because you are already on my friends list, but others may not be, so that could be the reason. I usually have my blog setting on “everyone” so they can all see it (actually, I think they still have to be in network). The only other option you have is to invite the people who can’t see your blog to be on your friends list. It’s up to you how you want to do it.

delete reply pestep55 wrote on Oct 9, ’08 Thanks, glad you liked it and the pic /:-)

edit delete reply lauritasita wrote on Oct 9, ’08 Everyone, you may continue the tour, but please hold any new work for the next sign in page next week. Thank You. ~ Laurita
