Vicki ZieglerStill lots of #poetry gloriousness to enjoy in the #SealeyChallenge home stretch: https://bsky.app/profile/poemtoday.bsky.social/post/3lxeth2vhsk2t
Glorious #sealeychallenge stuff being shared all over the place! https://x.com/Zina_GomezLiss/status/1959961320981229598
As I mentioned, I kinda bit off a bit more than I can chew reading-wise this month (there are worse problems, right?), so I'm not going to be able to juggle Proust *and* #TheSealeyChallenge. Instead, I'll reprise some of my past #SealeyChallenge posts and those of others ...
So, this year, I will reprise some of my previous #SealeyChallenge posts from 2020-2024 and will, of course, boost other readers' posts. I'll continue my daily #TodaysPoem practice, too.
BarbChamberlainThe site Read a Little Poetry https://readalittlepoetry.com/ introduced me to #SealeyChallenge: Read a book of poetry every day in August https://www.thesealeychallenge.com/. I read poetry every morning but not a whole book. I do have a lot of poetry books waiting for me to get to them, though. Hmmm.... Anyone else doing this?

Ani KeatenAll done - read my final book for Sealey Challenge. My scores from 1-5 for my readings this month average to 3, middle of the road for me. Some I really enjoyed and others I wouldn't read again if I knew what to expect. Two books from the library I immediately returned and chose something else for that day.

A landscape like Iceland
The sound flowers make:
their tiny roots amplified"

For Sealey Challenge today, I finally got around to reading Loose Woman by Sandra Cisneros. I bought many years ago and just didn't get to it.

"results say i’m hers
in history
in old law
in old English
say her great greats
owned my greatest
on this soil.
“wow,” she say
and i hold my tongue. tight. between molars.
’til it bloody and useless"
in broad daylight black girls look ghost

Today for Sealey Challenge, I read "workwoman thoughts" by Vandana Devi. I always enjoy poetry about working life because I think it's a really interesting crossroads.
