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.

Smart
ReplyDeleteBut not smart enough
There's a couple therapists
That would attest to this
Or a few friends
If it wouldn't get back to me
For such a smart girl . . .
Fill in the blanks
Off the top of my head
I'll recite a dozen
Don't ask my family
I'm book smart
How can my brother sound proud
And sarcastic at the same time
Smart
But not smart enough
