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.
Mistake
ReplyDeleteI like to think of you as a brief
horrible mistake
An awful slip-up
A calculation gone wrong
A mistake nonetheless
With lasting consequences
A resident for a time
Whose references checked out
(I took those references at face value)
Yet only to learn later
You received such glowing accounts
Because no one knew how
To free themselves from your clutches
Except to pass you on to me.

THAT LOOK
ReplyDeleteisn't envy
it isn't jealousy
it's just confusion
why him/her instead of me?
i'll keep showing up
and waiting
and wondering
if i'm just missing some subtle thing
some trick, some arcane bit of conjuring
that makes it all fall into place
oh well
win some lose some, right?
but i'm not jealous
that's my story
and I'm sticking with it
