It's a new month and we welcome a new host, as we always do on the first. Normally, I would thank the previous month's host for a job well done, but that host is also one of our co-hosts this month. This month two moderators of Art Journal Journey are our hosts. Please give a warm welcome once again to the much respected Valerie, who can be found at Bastelmania and a warm welcome to the talented Erika who many of you know as BioArtGal. Valerie's and Erika's theme is Poetry. Valerie is up first, then Erika follows.
To be honest, I know practically nothing about poetry. I do, however, remember Poe, as in Edgar Allen.
I started by finding a raven on the internet. For the background, I used a stencil brush and one of my favorite stencils, the brick wall.
Valerie, Erika, Chris, Bleubeard, and I are delighted you joined us and hope to see you this month at Art Journal Journey as you share your own interpretation of Poetry. We
welcome art journal pages that meet the theme requirements,
altered book
pages, canvases, loose, or stand alone pages including fabric and
digital art. We cannot leave comments on Facebook or Instagram entries. We do not allow cards, tags, index cards, ATCs, or ATCoins, unless
they are
part of a journal page, and as much as we don't want to, will be forced
to delete your entry. Please remember if your
blog is not in English, we ask that you translate it for us since the translation tool doesn't work on some blogs, including mine. Hope to see you soon at Art Journal Journey.

LOVE that raven. They are one of my favourite birds - intelligent and family minded.
Love your raven, he is so handsome, and Poe's poem is beautiful. I love watching them here and often wake to their harsh and strident tones! Thanks for a beautiful first entry for our new challenge! Hugs!
A great choice Elizabeth, so much to take in with Poe and the Raven.
Wishing you a happy creative May Tracey x
A great chilling poem and your Raven looks suitably stern. Ravens are fascinating birds, hugs Chrisx
...Happy May Day to all.
This is a great start to this month at AJJ Elizabeth. I love that raven and the nevermore quote. He/she is very handsome. And nice stenciled background too. The crow really pops up against it. And before I forget, besides a thank you for this page, I hope you have a great start to the new month, AND maybe you'll find some more poetry too. hugs-Erika
Handsome raven.
Wow, this is fantastic! I love that brick wall behind your raven, and I just love Edgar Allen Poe as I have a large book with his poems and lost it when my son took it, but I didn't mind and don't blame him! LOL This is going to be a great inspirational month to see what everyone comes up with! Thanks for your wonderful idea!
Nice!!! Have a happy month of May
much🤍love
Handsome Raven.
That's a beautiful shot of the raven, Elizabeth!
I LOVE raven, especially the Australian ones who really "talk" (ours don´t - yours???) - but poetry is really not mine...
I do like your Raven.
Wishing you a happy month of May.
All the best Jan
