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 or Yahoo account to post in the comments section. Most of you do have Gmail or Yahoo email, but for those of you that don't it's extremely worthwhile to open up an account now! That way you've got a chance to get your work out there in the world.
It Is Not a Place
ReplyDeleteWhere you cannot be pretty
All the girls know how to pose for the camera
They must be taught this
Not in a class with lessons or homework
But this knowledge
Like a handed down recipe
Gets passed around
The good side known
The uplifted face
With the downturned eyes
The right amount of shading on cheek and eye
Shy one moment
Outrageous the next
It's as though everyone
Is waiting for a director
To yell "Shoot"

"there"
ReplyDeleteis not a place
it's a way of life
i am there
already
you are there
already
i've read that a million times
i've learned it a thousand times
i've taught it a hundred times
i've felt it one or twice
once was in a park
in San Francisco
and again
years later
listening
to Carlos Santana
