Tucker08087's JournalNeed 2 poets!
I was nominated for an International Poetry Challenge called #PeetMeNot. I dont understand the hashtag (or what peet means. It started in India by an award winning poet. I was nominated by a man in Florida. Its an 8 day challenge (8 poems). Just FYI, its through Facebook, which I tend to avoid, and you must also post a picture of yourself each day.
Today is my 6th day. On my 8th day, Im supposed to nominate one or two new poets to carry the torch. If anyone is interested, please let me know and, if its not too much trouble, could you send a sample?
Ive mostly been creative with my pictures, showing only part of my face, but yesterday I just took a selfie. Today Im using my face but with a veil. I dont think there are specific rules about the photo, which for some reason for me is the hardest part. If you are considering it, Id be happy to send you a few of mine.
I know we have very talented writers here at DU, so fingers crossed! 🤞 💕
Preaching to the Choir
Preaching to the Choir
Death in daylight screamed to us
A message to the wise
Close your heart to evil now
And open up your eyes
On the narrow walk of fate
Balancing lifes high wire
Youre passing down divisive hate
Preaching to your choir
Yesterdays mistakes repeating
Lessons learned in vain
History repeats itself
Bleeding from the pain
Your words come back to haunt you
Hiding behind guns for hire
Amplify insanity
To feed your rabid choir
The masses rise up now united
Left with little choice
A force of solidarity
The world now has one voice
Youre stumbling to the gates of hell
A blackened soul on fire
Youre not fooling anyone
Just preaching to your choir
Violence, lies, and bigotry
Are all that you inspire
False prophet for the worst of us
Preaching to your choir
