5 Poetry Blogs

1) Firmly Rooted
This blog is by a woman from Delhi, India. She teaches mathematics and writes on the side. This woman uses this blog as a way to express to herself and write about really anything. She speaks about her everyday life and whatever comes to mind. Any inspiration she gets, she shares.

Here is a link to her blog. It would be a good idea if you check it out.

2) Chicano Poet
This blog is by a writer from Papalote, Aztla. His poems have been published in such places as Place of Herons Press. He also has many books printed with his work. His poetry is more contemporary then most writers. He is not afraid to use fowl language, which makes his ability to share his thoughts easier. "My life a big because."- a line from his poem called "The Water".

3) The Blog of Lewd Enlightenment
Steve Caratzas is the writer of this blog from the United States. He has been blogging since way back in 2004. His poetry is very urban and uses a variety of language techniques to write them. Caratzas uses punctuation and even all caps to emphasize his his text when he feels it is needed. I like his poem called "Checklist: How We Fall Out of Love". You can read it below.

4) Tuesday Poem
This blog is pretty known in the blogger world of poetry. It is worked on by many poets from places such as the US, UK, New Zealand, Australia, Italy and Lesotho. They put up something called the "Tuesday Poet Blog Roll", where they share poetry. These poets put up mostly their own work but sometimes showcase works they like from other poets. Any one can join and have their poems shared to others. Its a great blog to sit back, relax and listen to different kinds of poetry.

5) Peony Moon
This is a blog run by Amy Key who co- edits "Poems in Which", which is an online journal. This is a blog about her contemporary poetry and the books she has published. Her most recent collection of poems is in a book called "Luxe", which means luxury in french. Key has also filled this blog with posts of her inspirations such as Madonna and fun quotes she finds around her city. It is quite a good site to look back to every now and then.
