Blog Review

Since I am fairly new to the blogging world, I have been perusing different blogs to get a feel of what others are presenting in terms of content, design, and wit. I love reading blogs that are funny, sardonic, touching, informative, and/or written from a novel point of view. Our first Blog Review is a poetry blog that I have admired for a while, Ravens Wing Poetry: The Poetry of Nicole Nicholson.

I had my first glimpse into Raven’s Wing Poetry when Nicole commented on a poem that I had written and I have to say that I was more than impressed. She impressed me once again when she composed the poem Intuition inspired by Bootylicious Rule #7.

If you love poetry and even if you don’t you can’t help but be inspired by Nicole’s ability to bring forth a great deal of emotion while still using an economy of words. She makes the reader feel that each word has been carefully chosen to allow the reader an opportunity to see what she sees, not only with her eyes, but also with her heart.

Her latest post April 4, 1968 speaks about the day in which the world lost one of its most respected and revered leaders, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., taking us back to that moment in history that many wish had never taken place.

In her poem, Father, she offers a fleeting glimpse into her relationship with her father and how she is seeking to know him. This poem not only tugs at the reader’s heartstrings, but also prompts the reader to question her own parental relationships.

And my favorite poem, The Worst Advice That I Have Ever Received, is a surprising and humorous short poem essentially about not always listening to others, and following one’s own heart.

I do hope that you will take the time to pay a visit to this wonderful Poetry Blog. Nicole does an awesome job in touching the reader with her simple and refreshing poetry style. She is definitely a Poetry Diva. You will most certainly not be disappointed.
