The Poetry Universe is a forum for poets and writers on Facebook, created in 2014. Members include experienced poets and beginning poets stepping into the poetry community. Our authors span the globe, and some poems are translated into English to reach a wider audience. My goal, as the forum’s founder, was to create a group whose spirit consists of total writing freedom and the widespread wings of the universe of thought. We are all trying to advance our poetic skills, visiting the furthest dimensions of Earth and the universe with our poetic pen, the starship doing wonders. Freedom and the wings of the universe, its unfathomable tides, its enchanting veils, whether of time or love or anything else, are number one in what is guiding this group. The spirit of the Poetry Universe forum is aptly represented in its member’s entries. Poems are written across a broad range of subjects as well as in various styles of prose, and originate from all around the world. One aspect of the forum is our “challenges”, which have become very popular. After several challenges specifically designed to create poetry for young readers, we devised the idea of publishing books of children’s poems that would also delight parents. And thus, “Chimes And Rhymes For Grownups” was the first book with fairy tales born and now follows another one with as enchanting fairy tales and many more drawings that can attract c hildren’s creativity. Let’s give it a warm applause: welcome, dear “Abracadabra”! Our poetry book is rich both in excellent poems and enthralling illustrations that children of all ages will adore. We sincerely hope you enjoy this book as much as we have enjoyed creating it. ~ Thaddeus Hutyra
