Dear Mistakes (new #poetry)

January 28, 2023 by posted by Mary C. M. Phillips

We’ve all made mistakes.

Some mistakes, unfortunately, are not easily forgotten.

As a way of dismissing my own dear mistakes, I’ve composed this poem. It appears in two new poetry anthologies: Bards Annual 2022 (Bards Initiative) and the upcoming Dear You, Poems Through the Heart (Red Penguin).

You can hear the spoken-word version of Dear Mistakes here:

As always thanks to Mark Phillips for adding some rather unique music. Special thanks to Chris MacIntosh a/ka/ Grandfather Rock of Rock ‘n’ Soul Gospel, WCWP radio (Fridays 9PM-11PM and Sundays 6PM-10PM) for playing new poetry.
