Donna Hilbert who contributed “Flowers” and “In Quintana Roo” to Solace in So Many Words recently had a poem “Joined”  featured on Your Daily Poem.  Here’s a few lines to tease you:   “Everything sundered / wants reuniting,
/ everything rent, to mend.”

 

Don’t forget that I am always looking for written works and visual art to post here.  I’d love to feature your work as a guest blog, Glimpse of Solace, or Slice of Solace so please send me a message.
