WELCOME
TO
OUR POETRY ARCHIVE
Sometimes a
journey is found in a single step;
one forward
motion. Other times life’s journey
consists of many
paths until a destination is reached.
All through life,
one step may be all that is needed,
while difficult
paths require determination;
pushing one foot
in front of the other.
These are the
stages of life…
And this, is the
life of a poet.
(STACIA LYNN REYNOLDS)
April 1, 2018, is
the third-year anniversary of Our Poetry Archive’s online publication!!!
Myself, along with the Editorial Desk, are pleased and blessed with the
outpouring of poetic beauty over the last three years. The continued support of
this literary online journal has allowed great success in the Poetic community!
Thank you! This fourth-year anniversary has also blessed the expansion of Our
Poetry Archive; we are excited to introduce two additional members to the
editorial desk: Aprilia Zank of Germany, and Leyla Isik of Turkey!!! On behalf
of Our Poetry Archive, along with all the supporters of OPA, we welcome you,
Aprilia and Leyla, with open hearts and minds, to Our Poetry Archive! The
extension of the Editorial Desk, along with the evolution of Our Poetry Archive
is astounding! Thank you all, poets and readers alike, for your support.
Without your contribution, Our Poetry Archive would not have grown the way it
has over the last four years. My utmost thanks to you, reaches out to every
poet, reader, and supporter of Our Poetry Archive. This online journal is also
a personal dream of mine, expanding years beyond memory. It has always been my
intense passion to witness respect and appreciation of others through expressed
thought. The expression of inner emotion, the tapestry of cultures, ethnics
groups, language and race, have come together to share their personal penned
words, along with respecting others who contribute, overwhelms me tremendously.
I am truly humbled to be a part of Our Poetry Archive…
“The pursuit of
peace lies within the soul of each individual. Reach down, deep within, and
pull from within, all that will make the world sing; in perfect harmony.”
