Poetry Journal Monthly has moved to
Please join us there. around the first of each month.
I love poetry, journaling and creating simple, small journals illustrating this love!
Please join me once a month( for starters) to share our poetry journals.
The general concept is to write out a poem,written by you or anyone,and embellish the poem on your journal(using the term loosely ) page.
To celebrate our first on line poetry journal slam, one random commenter will receive a hand lettered, quote, rubber stamp-generously donated by Suzanne Cannon of Quietfire Design-perfect for using in your poetry journal!
Check back here often, as I will be posting journal making projects, shout outs to PJers that catch my eye and other fun stuff I haven't even thought up yet!

The lefthand page poem was inspired by a wonderful drawing teacher, Marcia, I had while facilitating at a Open Connections, a homeschool resource center.
Thanks Marcia!
The right hand page poem, by Henry Taylor- another kind of lesson I thought completed the page layout.
I showed you mine, now please show me yours!

Oh! Here is where I am to leave a comment. Sometimes I am a dummy! I love this idea. I do write (bad) poetry and decorate it so this is right up my alley - if I can deal with the technology! LOL
ReplyDeleteThis is far to complex. I just want to play!
ReplyDeleteI'll help you Meg- it's easy- Just send me a photo, or bring your journal to FAA and I will post it for you. and, come back soon, and click on all the links and that will take you to blog after bloc of inspirational poetry journals!
DeleteLooks like a wonderful project so please add me. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteyou add yourself- as I see you have done,
Deletethanks for wing #1 Jutta- I'm hopping over to enjoy being inspired by your Poetry Journal!
Ok, so you linked to your current blog post. Lovely! what I'm asking folks to do is to create a page(using the term loosely) of an illustrated or somehow embellished poem, and link to a post showing the page, and telling as much as they would like about it.
DeleteSorry Robin I thought I was just signing up I'll have something for you in the morning. Thanks!
Deleteno worries! to sign up for the blog, enter your email in the sidebar where it says follow by email
DeleteI am so excited to see this. I don't have a blog, but I have been working on a presentation for teachers based on art journaling and writing. Many students write poetry on their own and I want them to branch out and begin illustrating/decorating their work. It is my dream to have a van loaded with art supplies and computer equipment for students to use when writing their poetry.
ReplyDeletewonderful Dream! I'll hold that in the light!
DeleteNo age limit on the blog and would love to see it become a class project- I could pos photos for you if you don't blog.
In time, this blog will also become a source of inspiration and a place to find art friends
As a retired English teacher, I can attest that "poetry" is a hated subject in most classes. Adults have "analyzed" all the fun out of reading and writing it. I love free verse and any writing that does not follow a stiff pattern. It sometimes takes years for young people to learn a new love for poetry. Your type of blog has been needed for a long time. I hope many people discover it and share your/our joy.
DeleteThe idea of an illustrated/decorated poetry journal is a great idea, and I'll definitely give it a try. I'm following by e-mail now.
ReplyDeleteGreat Denise! I'll e looking forward to your posted pages!
DeleteJust came from your T post........love this idea and will try and give it a try. I do love poetry in any form. I signed up to follow by e-mail.
ReplyDeleteI signed up to follow by e-mail. I don't write poetry but read quite a lot of it. I will give illustrating a poem a try. Nothing like a little challenge.

Thank you for sharing this link Robyn. I will add my link with my son's poem here. Combining poetry and sketching sounds very interesting. I too would like to try it.
ReplyDeleteSusan
Robyn, thank you for inviting me- this looks like fun! I may just have to dedicate a journal just to this! I will see what I can do this week, I need to get into my stamping room, and this is a good excuse. Now to look for poems. What about song verses - do they count as poems? -Lindart
ReplyDeleteHi, Robyn~
ReplyDeleteI am excited! Up until about 15 years ago, I used to write quite a bit of poetry/prose. When I met my husband, it all "dried up" (long story). But I awoke a week ago, and thoughts from the previous night spilled out onto paper. So, the timing is great! I don't have a blog, and am now on your email list.
Have you ever heard of Merritt Malloy? She was a prolific writer in the 70's. I thought of her (and remembered her name!) that morning I wrote. So, I went to Amazon and ordered all of her books that I used to own. Discovered she is still alive, and wrote a poetry book, first time in all those years, in 2013. Looking forward to that coming in the mail, to see what she's observed about life as she has aged.
I really need a kick-start to begin art journaling again, so I am really looking forward to this journey.

Hi Judy,
ReplyDeleteTill you start your blog, send me photos of your PJ pages by email and I will post them for you.
Looking forward to walking with you on this journey.
Blessings,
Robyn
What? What? Nobody reads or writes poetry anymore? Come on, people, be human. I will have one soon!
ReplyDeleteI love poetry for it shows ones expressions to life. Am not a written so journaling is out at this time. One day I may try.
ReplyDeleteThank you for providing this wonderful blog.
Oh, Ms Linda, everyone has some poetry inside themselves just waiting to be expressed. I have several activities that I used with my students to get them into the "mood" to write poetry. If you and Robyn wish, I can share some with you. Just let me know.
DeleteThat is the excellent one post here. Thank you and all the best.
