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. We've even been so generous to accept poets from other parts of the USA and the entire country of Canada!
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 or AOL account to post in the comments section. Most of you do have Gmail or Yahoo or AOL, but for those of you that don't, it's extremely worthwhile to open up one of these email accounts now! This way you've got a chance to get your work out there in the world.

ReplyDeleteThere are people who live upon years of snow
Hundreds or thousands of years
Where the snow never melts completely
Where it is a fact of life
Just as the cement I walk or drive on
There is spring perhaps
But never a complete change of seasons
Winter every day
Not a crocus that pushes its way out of the earth
Or the green surprise of the bud of a tree
When I feel depressed about moving from the Berkshires
To the low flatlands of Dearborn Heights, Michigan
I remind myself it could be so much worse
