The poet John Donne says

​"No man is an island,
Entire of itself;
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main."

In the rainy season, the earth learns to breathe, Green shoots rise where silence used to be. Between the falling rain, my longing grows true, Holding on to hope : this yearning will meet you. #BlueSkyPoetry #SkyPoets #Poetry #PoetsOfBlueSky #BraveWrite #Poem #ScreenWriter #poet

Writing some poetry in the park made my heart smile.
Birds always evoke some emotions in me that are hard to describe.
I always carry my pen and paper with me in case inspiration strikes.
Maybe someday I'll publish my poems.
But for now, here's this photo that will make you smile.

Today in Labor History February 10, 1898: Marxist playwright Bertolt Brecht was born. Brecht was a doctor, poet and playwright. He fled the Nazis only to be persecuted in the U.S. by HUAC during the Cold War. He is most well-known for his play, “The Three Penny Opera.” He also wrote “Mother Courage and Her Children” and “The Days of the Commune,” about the Paris Commune. Additionally, he wrote poetry and composed the lyrics to many of the songs performed in his plays, like “Mack the Knife” and “Alabama Song” (AKA Whiskey Bar).

Beneath the silent stars of the night, I stand, Dreaming of a love warm, gentle, and kind. Each glowing light whispers hope to my heart, That our souls will meet, written in starlight. #BlueSkyPoetry #SkyPoets #Poetry #PoetsOfBlueSky #BraveWrite #Poem #ScreenWriter #poet

Morning dew rests softly on the ground,
Whispering hope in silence, pure and kind.
Each fragile drop holds love yet to be found,
A promise that our hearts will soon align.

Footprints linger where the waves once played, Golden light recalls the words we never said. The sea hums softly of a time gone by, Memories drift like shells beneath the sky. #BlueSkyPoetry #SkyPoets #Poetry #PoetsOfBlueSky #BraveWrite #Poem #ScreenWriter #poet

7 Feb 1598: Edmund Spenser #poet & planter recorded as being in arrears for rent of #Buttevant #Franciscan friary Co. #Cork #otd (PCC/the friary site in 2010 - JMcC)

In the garden where many flowers bloom bright, Memories linger softly in colors and light. Each petal whispers moments we once knew, A mosaic of blooms, holding memories of you. #BlueSkyPoetry #SkyPoets #Poetry #PoetsOfBlueSky #BraveWrite #Poem #ScreenWriter #poet

Well, this is my #intro post, I guess!

I'm Merryjest, and I am a multi-disciplinary creator. Fully trained #opera #singer I'm also a #composer, #poet writer and #digitalArt artist. Also #furry — but not typical. Or a typical anything, I guess.

Here's a sample of one of my #music compositions (waiting to be recorded by the soprano and choir):
