Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge; Favourite Poems


It's Wednesday and time for a new Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge, courtesy of Long and Short Reviews. The theme of the week was favourite poems, short stories and novellas. I decided to focus on poems.

Aside from The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe, here is three of my favourite poems.

    Yes, the Raven has always been hands down one of my favourite poems. I don't know you're other choices, thanks for sharing them! I really like the one by Rupi Kaur. Feels appropriate right now.

    I posted about short stories because - until I started reading everyone elses posts - I thought I wasn't really a poem person! Everyone seems to be changing my mind.

      I can't deny that the Rupi Kaur poem is kind of fitting at the moment. If it's to any comfort, not everyone likes poetry and sometimes one come across the right poem at the right time in order to potentially enjoy them.

    It's awesome to meet new poems through this challenge. I love all three of your choices. The first is romantic. The second is written in a style I get lost in. The third is poignant. As for The Raven, it has always been one of my favorites.

    I also chose poetry this week: https://thereikicafe.com/2020/06/10/favorite-poem-wednesday-weekly-blogging-challenge/

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
