It’s been too long. My last post was on June 3rd. No excuses, but if I had one, it’s that I have become busier with the day job—which, don’t get me wrong, I also love.
For those who don’t know, I’m a Broker Associate at Douglas Elliman Real Estate in NW Florida.
But I’m also a creative. I had to come up with a way to continue this passion project called WORDINGHOUSE. Turns out, recording video offers a quick delivery of content.
I hope you will watch. The subject is poetry. And I read two poems. I try to keep it short and sweet. Next time, I’ll try even harder.
I hope to continue in this format, or at least to allow myself the freedom to use this format when writing an entire piece doesn’t feel possible.
I’m going to include some information and links below as a companion to the video. At the very least, I can help proliferate the art of poetry and share some great poets and their work.
As I read aloud, I personally recommend you read the poems on your own off the page/screen. Drinking them in through your eyes and ears at the same time is the best of both worlds.
… was recently published by literary journal established in 2008 called Up the Staircase Quarterly, Issue #66.
The poem is called Enough by Athena Kildegaard.
Hint: Click the poem title to read the poem and click the author’s name to visit the author’s website.
… was originally published in a literary journal called Honey Literary and was nominated to the Best of the Net Anthology where it became a winner in 2024.
The poem is called How to Lucid Dream by Ruth Awad.
Thank you for your time today.
