The BlueIris Semi-Nightly Poetry Break, 6/4/08

"For K."

Then Kathy—"Is that mine?"—ran out to the crying in the yard.

1. Kick. Doesn't anyone like my little poem here?

[Chan790]

2. It's nice...but I'm not sure that many people think that's a poem.

Oh well...more poem for me.

[BlueIris]

3. It's...concise, sure.

C'mon, Loungers. Think creatively.

The poems for the rest of this month are really something else, so get ready.

[Chan790]

4. It's the opposite of my writing...

I like super-long (10-15+ word) lines in the tradition of Ginsburg. I also dig the coy use of punctuation to suggest opposing thoughts simultaneously. I once ended a poem in the middle of a word. Wrote one using pretty-much only the word "blockage" repeatedly. (I think there were 7 other words.)

Different poem forms excite me.

That reminds me...we haven't had a "Post your poetry" thread in a while.

[BlueIris]

5. Ooh, bring it on. I have a couple of little blurbs I could throw up.

And if you like different poetic forms, stay tuned. I play with forms in...interesting ways the rest of this month.

6. Kick.

7. Cute

Kind of a global echo
