Dear Friends,

I've always been a fan of poetry but it wasn't until I became a convinced Friend, that poetry became a daily and extremely important part of my life. 

I was wondering if you, as a Friend, also find poetry to be an important part of your spiritual practice and journey.  

1. If so, how has it influenced your walk with the Spirit?  
2. Who are your "go to" poets or poems?
3. Who are you reading today?  
4. What does poetry mean to you?
5. Do you have any favorite Poets who are Friends?  

I'd love to hear from you about your thoughts on poetry and your experiences.  Maybe we could use this discussion to share our experiences on this topic.

Also, if your interested in my favorite poems and wordsmiths, you can check out my new blog:

HEALING WORDSMITHS:  Everyday a new poem.

Everyday a new opportunity to see yourself and the world differently.

I hope you'll join this discussion on Quakers and Poetry.  

In Friendship,

EDM
