Weekly Wisdom All that we see or seem, is but a dream within a dream ~Edgar Allan Poe Weekly Challenge I had the pleasure of meeting "The Free Skater" this past weekend.  He is rollerblading around the country encouraging young people to follow their dreams, and think outside the box. Write a poem of encouragement to someone you know. Weekly Poetry Term rhyme The occurrence of the same or similar sounds at the end of two or more words. When the rhyme occurs in a final stressed syllable, it is said to be masculine: cat/hat, desire/fire, observe/deserve. When the rhyme occurs in a final unstressed syllable, it is said to be feminine: longing/yearning. The pattern of rhyme in a stanza or poem is shown usually by using a different letter for each final sound. In a poem with an aabba rhyme scheme, the first, second, and fifth lines end in one sound, and the third and fourth lines end in another. Weekly Vocabulary Word gerent \JEER-uhnt\, noun 1. A ruler or manager. Upcoming Events If you know of any upcoming events, please let us know on the Forum or through Feedback.

DarkPoetry Poem of the Day: A Distant Embrace

Proximity
and
loneliness

are relative to the distance

the heart has fleeted
from the remnants

of

one's

self

Your Poem for August 9, 2010

Having trouble viewing this email? Click here

I sure hope I'm not tempting fate with this poem about a hurricane, but it is that time of year, and this is so different from most of Emily's work that I really wanted to share it with you. (I must thank Dr. Sylvia Vardell for bringing it to my attention; you might want to check out Dr. Vardell's wonderful website if you work with children.) I'm not sure which metaphor is more marvelous: "The doom's electric moccasin. . ." or ". . .a strange mob of panting trees. . .!" Today's poem is  "There came a wind like a bugle"   by Emily Dickinson  Thanks for supporting www.YourDailyPoem.com.   Jayne Jaudon Ferrer
