“Don’t wait for someone to bring you flowers.
Plant your own
garden and
Decorate your own
soul.”
~Luther Burbank~
This month, April 2017, is starting our
third year in web publishing. Our Poetry Archive’s editorial team is extremely
excited about the success and support from our readers, along with all the
poets who have contributed to Our Poetry Archive. It is only through your
support that OPA has grown throughout the years! Due to the pleasant amount of
growth, Our Poetry Archive is extending our utmost thanks and appreciation to
all of you! We could not have been successful without all of you!
Our Poetry Archive planted the seed of
poetry within the minds of the world. Per the planting of seeds, Our Poetry
Archive has grown a beautiful garden of international appreciation, for poets
around the world. The decorated souls of this world, who have contributed to
the growth of Our Poetry Archive, possess qualities that many have come to
appreciate. We delight in the words of others; we feel the emotions of every
poet who grace us with their words. Exquisite and fascinating representation of
language from each continent has been represented. Through each individual’s
discourse of thought, expressed in poems, we have found marvelous radiance
shining from each corner of the world. Though each poet resides in various
parts of the world, we have found amazing symmetry among all of us. This
obvious exhibition of appreciation has formed a uniform setting for all poets
to express their inner self, through their words. It is through the expression
of thought and emotion that Our Poetry Archive has grown the way it has. I
truly believe, from the depths of my soul, that the oneness of international
appreciation of rhetoric, thought and emotion, has brought us all together in a
state of appreciation for all cultures and ways of life. It brings us great
joy, to have the opportunity, to publish in our web journal, the inspiration of
each poet from around the world!
“The birds sing
their song
The wind is their
melody
The leaves clap
their hands”

Our
Poetry Archive sings the melody of thought and expression of every contributed
word. We applaud you for your support and congratulate each individual poet, on
your personal success as a writer. We also thank our readers, who support the
numbers of Our Poetry Archive.
Last year we at Our Poetry Archive have
taken the project to publish Continental Special Editions highlighting poetical
traditions and individual talents of each continent in single volumes. We
thought this would broaden the entire spectrum of literary traditions and
heritages around the globe by publishing continental poets and poetess from
every corner of the world. We have pursued this project, so readers of this
blog may grasp the literary forms of poets from each continent, and find
appreciation in each writer. In the October 2016 Edition, we featured poems
from 48 European poets. In, December 2016, we have published the continental
edition, which featured poets from North America, participated by more than
fifty poets of that particular continent. Again our third Continental special
edition has featured poems written by the poets with African origins. We are
also pleased to announce that next May we’ll publish our fourth edition of
Continental special item featuring poets with Asian origins.
This April we are starting our third year
in web publishing featuring poetess Renee Drummond- Brown as the “Poet of the
Month”, who resides in United States of America,! We encourage everyone to read her insightful words,
found in her personal responses given, in our exclusive interview with her. She
has also contributed five personal poems for all to read. We are also glad to
present one hundred and eighty one poems of fifty poets from all over
Europe, North and South America, Australia and New Zealand in this edition. So
readers may enjoy a variety of literary signatures and essence in this single
volume of poetry collection.
Please take time and enjoy the talent Our
Poetry Archive has added to the April 2017 General Edition. Those who would
like to participate in our upcoming editions, please send three poems and a
