My Featured Blogger this week is Maia Runa (a.k.a. maiaruna) of Maia Diaries. Maia is the author of three intertwined poetry collections. “Drawn to strange and unusual settings and circumstances,” Maia is “willing to find beauty in the ordinary.” Not only does she write with compassion and empathy, she features other gifted and like-minded poets (see below) who do so as well!
If I Wasn’t Being Held
when i say i didn’t exist what i meant
is that if i wasn’t being held, i would
have fallen through the earth
What Is It Exactly
What is 100% rain exactly?
How could anyone be that certain?
Not even love feels that way
and again I’m the person
telling strangers more than I should.
The person nodding yes
instead of no. The person
who wouldn’t return to the past
even if I had an umbrella.
Why bother? 100% it’s not
as good as whatever this is.
These poems by Maia are very thought provoking. I had to read each three times to appreciate them.
I continue to enjoy your poetry as well as the poets you post.
I follow her as well. She’s great!
Some words touch our hearts.
Hi Mitch,
It’s about what is really accurate. Simple things aren’t always simple. Nothing is. That’s also a sign of God’s working.
