This blog is devoted to a select group of poets. We're starting with poets from the Ann Arbor area, but, hey, if you're from Detroit, Grand Rapids, Saginaw or the Upper Peninsula, then that is okay, too.
Our goal is to provide you with a prompt every day from which you are to garner inspiration and submit a poem. How to submit will be very easy. Just put your poem or short story in the comments section and hit post. You may not immediately see your post, but it is there under the "Comments" section. You may need to click on "Comments" to see your poem. It is there on another page.
You may need to have a Gmail account to post in the comments section. Most of you do have Gmail, but for those of you that don't it's extremely worthwhile to open up one now! That way you've got a chance to get your work out there in the world.
(note: this week's posts by Mike are dedicated to the Harry Potter Alliance http://thehpalliance.org/ a group of dedicated mostly-Muggles doing good in the world. See you at Misti Con this weekend.)
Library
ReplyDeleteAll that knowledge
If it disappeared
I would have to write down
All that I know
All that I have learned
To forget it again
And again
Guessing from the titles
What I felt was once so important

ReplyDeleteAt what point
does this ocean of books
and records
and spiral notebooks
and frayed legal pads
stop being a library
and start being
clutter?
There is an idea
an important idea
hiding in one of them
somewhere
between pages of
bad sketches
unfinished songs
and notes
that consider the
similarities between
Kirkegaard and Origen
in terms of
fashion choices.
A silverfish ran across the top of one of the boxes.
It's the one with all of those poems from high school.
Everyone's a critic.
