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 than 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 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.

Here's today's prompt: "Pitcher".
PITCHER
ReplyDeleteI looked at the photo of the pitcher
and I remembered something Bruce Lee said:
Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water.
Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup;
You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle;
You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot.
Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
Something flows through me.
Shapes me.
I can be a pitcher.
Maybe.

I'm a philosophy major. That means I can
think deep thoughts about being unemployed.
I can do that too...
