A Treasured Gift and Award
I am very privileged and happy to announce that I have been named a recipient of the Liebster Blog Ward by Marsha Berrry @marousia, poet, artist, photographer, teacher, and blogger. Thank you so much, M! You have been a friend and constant inspiration, and I am most appreciative of your support and recognition of my efforts.
The Liebster Blog Award originated in Germany. Liebster means “favorite” or “dearest.” The recipient of this award agrees to the following:
1. Show your gratitude to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
2. Reveal your top 5 picks for the award, and let them know.
3. Post the award on your blog.
4. Bask in the love from the most supportive people in the blogsphere.
5. And last, have fun and spread the karma!
The following are my five selections in no particular order:
1. CoyoteSings @CoyoteSings. I sometimes refer to him as “R”. For his incredibly polished, witty, on the mark, trim micropoetry and haiku, his continuous howling, yes howling at social injustice, his generous support of other poets…I am still learning so much from him. He is beloved.
2. Diana Lee @Diana605 for her exquisite haigas, lovely poetry, connoisseurship of art, elegant and polished photography; her blogs are a delight!
3. Sandi Pray @bigmax722. A rising star in the poetry blogsphere. Micropoetry and carefully matched art and photos -artistic haiga expressive of her love of nature, that will touch your soul.
4. Mariam Kobras @Mariam_Kobras. Writer, journalist, a newly emerged talented novelist; recently launched her debut novel “Distant Shores” with rave reviews, and more, a most generous woman, lending her support to fellow writers and poets, unstintingly.
5. Brian Miller @bmiller007. A poet who tells it like it is…with honesty, intelligence, and humor…anything from love to social injustice are his targets, and always right on! Brian is also one of the hosts on dVersePoetsPub, a weekly showcase for all poets who care to participate, and a wonderful job he’s doing there supporting us.
I have so many more people in mind for this award, poets, writers, artists, photographers, crafts people, moms, pops, husbands, fathers, but I can only pick 5 at this time. I’m very grateful to all who continue to support me and visit my blog. My love to all of you!
