This is my first post of the New Year and also my 500th post.  To celebrate, I want to throw the spotlight on a blogger who is finding her poetic voice:  Pamela.

Pamela actually has two blogs:  Year ‘Round Thanksgiving Project and Poetry by Pamela.

Pamela’s first blog is a homage to everything she (and, by extension, we) have to be thankful for.  She can have the worst day; yet at the end of that day, she will express thankfulness for something.  It may be as simple as being thankful for good weather, or thankful to have another day with her dad.  Her blog is nothing short of inspirational.

Poetry by Pamela is an inspiration of another sort:  the play of words that make one smile; the making of a song that lifts the spirits.  Visit her blog now to enjoy a poetic play on New Year’s Resolutions.  And while you’re there, be sure to read her other poetry and even leave some comments, some feedback on what you like about her poetry.  Here’s a link to one of my favorites:  Yours, written in the Tanka form.  It is wickedly good :)
