My Five Favorite Blog Posts

May 19, 2013 By Mary Hill 2 Comments

Day 19, Sunday: Five of your favorite blogs and what you love about them


I have only blogged for such a short time.  I probably have less than 75 blogs to choose from.  I started blogging a little in February of this year, but I really got serious in March and April.  I especially enjoyed April because of the A to Z Challenge.

Here is my list of favorite blogs in order:

1.  V is for Verse Paragraph and W is for Wandering, a poem by me

I liked the poem I wrote this day.

W stands for  Wanderings Through A Poetic Landscape


By Mary Hill


Poems, verse and lines
Combine to make pictures come alive.
Poems of cats and dogs and even wooded logs
Poems of dancing bees and willow trees
Poems of flowers and beautiful towers
Roam through this poetic landscape
Don’t worry about finding a map … just escape


2.   R is for Recognition and S is for Soo Grateful

This is my second favorite post because I had been nominated for the Leibster award by Rebeccah Giltrow of Rebecca Writes.

3.  Another Day for Connecting

       

I love this one because I highlight three of my favorite people.  đꙂ

4.  M is for Memorial, N is for New, and O is For Overcome


 Another Martin

An April morning dawn busts through with promises anew
Hopes and dreams of running and overcoming
Peace and love walk hand in hand down an avenue
Their thoughts are sad and musing
They know the calamity Hate is about to bring.

Life full of promise, smiles and bright eyes.
He skips or runs, who knows what the little boy would do
The morn of his father’s marathon? 
He more than likely had a chest bursting with pride and excitement.
His name, Martin.

Another Martin begged for peace so many years ago.
Inspired by Ghandi, he wanted to lead his people to a new day.
Vietnam, war and poverty stepped in the way.
Now, it is hate and terror holding us back and at bay.
But this little boy’s spirit, another Martin, cannot be silenced.

Holding a simple sign for a school project.
A sign that says it all:  “No more hurting people. Peace.”
Tomorrow let’s embrace his message and hang signs across America.
A sign like his.  Hold hands with Love and Peace Begin anew.  
New days are dawing.

I dedicated this blog to the memory of the young boy who died in the Boston Marathon Bombing. I never met this young boy, but his image of holding that sign inspired me.  He really lived his short life wanting peace for everyone.  

5.   A Truly Creatively Meandering Post

Yellow and black patterns of stripes and dots
They flutter in the wind to their own melodies
Travel far and over seas and lands
The beautiful monarch silently disappears into history
What does that say about us … humans?

I love this post because I brought attention to an important issue.

    These were all great posts! I realized today I have published 400 posts in only a year and a half. I don’t know if I could pick my top 5.
