RE: THE FIRST REPORT OF THE POETIC JOURNALISM FORUMThanks so much Cousinsoren! I think the turnout has been good so far, but it can always be better right? Haha. I think this forum can become a very important part of OP if we all chip in and make it so. There is much going on in the world today, and poets need to provide social commentary on important issues and bring them to light. |

I encourage every1 who has something to say on any current issue or news story to let your inspiration take you to new heights and write about what inspires you in today's world, and start your own thread in the Forum. Enter the title of the thread in the Forum as if it were a news headline. And provide any links or pertanant pictures to your work that may be applicable. Thanks again all, and cousinsorens. Your work is greatly appreciated! Spence THANK you for thanking me, Suspense. I thoroughly enjoy working with you. You are a great boss!..........................LOL Last edited by cousinsoren 05-18-2010 at 04:16:03 PM |

Purple chive tops, valerian and columbine pink, Joe Pye magenta and crazy daisies everywhere, each curving maneuver captured in long stems seeking the ever-moving sun. First spring-red strawberry gobbled up two days ago, and summer fruit set - round and green - gooseberries, raspberries, currant. Sandy soil welcomes water as sage tips get ready to burst. Volcanic ash, arrived 30 years ago, infuses the earth - a recent memory in geologic time - already sifted deep into soil eager to nourish. Flanders Fields poppies just might pop on Memorial Day - dripping blood red in living color - and the Bleeding Heart has been blooming for weeks, remembering the fallen of many seasons. The depths inform the surface; this little patch of ground is thriving. May this breath be remembered for the beauty it contains. Blessed Be. -Dancing Hawk |
Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
