We all search for peace and quiet at certain moments in our lives. When the going gets rough, the tough gets going – this is true, but it is also true that even the toughest need some sort of alone time to get his strength up.  I like how Sanctuary of Stillness offers a chance to experience tranquility and a sense of calm with the use of technology.  These days, technology can sometimes become an additional clutter in our lives.  This blog offers a refreshing use of technology with its serene art and poetry.  You should try visiting it when your nerves become frayed – it will do you some good.

Who can resist a phantom?  The very essence of a phantom is shrouded in mystery and evokes curiosity in the most stoic of people, doesn’t it?  Throw in a dash of poetry and you’d get a good number of people hooked.  As Christopher Fry once said “Poetry is the language in which man explores his own amazement.”  This is what you can expect from Jeff, The Phantom, who maintains a daily poetry blog.  He calls it speed poetry and admits to the fact that he “never used to be able to do.”  I think he’s doing a pretty good job with Poetry From The Phantom, though.  I don’t get some of it but hey, that’s what poetry is about sometimes, isn’t it?

Nature truly inspires the poet in most of us. When life is only too poignant that there is nothing left to do but to agonize about it, the agony of life gives birth to poetry inspired by beauty. Even in life’s sadness and pain, poets see beauty in them, and this is what Pamela Olson captured in her blog, Amputated Moon.

Pamela Olson “…Began writing while living in Mississippi, but it was a move to the southern Oregon coast that led [her] to begin writing about nature. She is a West Coast native transplanted into the deep South, and she hopes [that her readers would] enjoy [her] writings.

Silence of Centuries

My blog tells the trysts of a silent person with life and people. For someone who’s been inside a shell for years, the journey towards reaching out and being reached out to is a fascinating tale to tell…

I have kept several blogs but they have all been my experiments in poetry and prose. I wanted to have this particular one to talk about my life - my love for the city I live in, the work I do, my relationships with people around me with a little poetry and some prose thrown in here and there.

I am an Indian amateur writer and I have been writing poetry and prose on several blogs for a long time. I work in the development sector in an Indian think tank, as a Publication and Communication Associate.

Animis Servatis is a new, fresh writers collective where Christians can feel like apart of a community and submit articles about life, love, and possibly any music they have heard recently. All free, all good. Well worth the look.
