as I go back to work
i'll keep 'gentle' in mind
creating boundaries
making space for me
i'll keep 'gentle' in mind
as i talk with people
making space for me
and respecting our needs
as i talk with people
i'll be profissional, no feelings attached
respecting our needs
the lessons will trive
i'll be profissional, no feelings attached
practical and efficient
the lessons will trive
and i'll be plenty
people will adapt
creating boundaries
as a lesson for them
making space for meW3 :: A pantoum unfolds in four-line stanzas, with each stanza carrying two lines into the next:
The second line becomes the first line of the next stanza.
The fourth line becomes the third line of the next stanza.
Add new lines in the second and fourth positions, letting the repeated lines gather fresh meaning in their new surroundings.
Continue for as many stanzas as you like. To bring the poem full circle, the final stanza traditionally uses the opening stanza’s third line as its second line, and the poem’s opening line as its closing line.

Hello! I’m proud to say that Svenja (thanks Sveja!) has chosen my poem Renewal for last week’s W3 challenge and I’m the poet of the week (PoW) for the W3 challenge this week! As the PoW I set the guidelines for the week’s challenge.
Since it’s February, the month of love, I thought love poems would be perfect, in particular ‘self-love’. And I chose a sonet as a poetry form for it. Click here for all the guidelines details, and join the challenge. I’d love to read your thoughts about self-love and get inspired by them. Below is my sonet loaded with self-love messages for myself, you can use them too!
love yourself today less than tomorrow and more than yesterday completely, not hollow
without fear or shame embrace the flaws ignite the flame do not withdraw
you’ve permission to dream leave the past behind work on self-esteem peace in your mind
