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, alive and well, 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.
Today's poem or short story prompt is the word "Reminder."

ReplyDeleteOne Late Afternoon In A Coffee Shop
ReplyDeleteIt was just the slightest touch
I think Van Morrison was playing
I don't usually close my eyes in public
But the chair was comfortable and
I was sleepy
Maybe not even, maybe just the breeze
One of his mystical tunes
Today was an exception
Today I didn't need a table
I'd committed to a day off
A single green flower on sheer white skirt
His music made me receptive
Swimming in time and space
My body had no boundaries.
It was Everywhere It was Everything.
Just the slightest touch
Crazy Love
One touch brought it all back
All of my body's history
I stood up
