Sunday, every Sunday, let's have a community picnic. It's probably been a long week, and it's lovely to have a few minutes to sit back and relax and enjoy some good conversation in a less formal space. Feel free to bring something for the Picnic Basket - a poem you liked this week, a thought you had or something you experienced, or even something completely unrelated to poetry whatsoever that you just feel like sharing. Just take a moment to say hello, and maybe have a bite to eat; no one is going anywhere fast, and the shade promises some relief from the everyday heat. Let’s get to know each other a bit better, here under the branches of the poet’s tree.

I just got home after three weeks on the road, which I'll blog about eventually, but am too scramble-headed to tackle at present. But I do want to share two glimpses of poetry I saw at Duke University Medical Center Thursday morning. In the library, there was a vintage poison control booklet:

From Duke


On a different note, this lovely Lucille Clifton poem was posted next to one of the elevators in one of the hospitals:

I'm still trying to do daily poetry here: http://cadenzamuse.dreamwidth.org/tag/nablopomo

I'm particularly proud of the latest one, which turned itself sideways into a poem about people named Elizabeth.

So many lovely poems. I'm just now catching up on some of my reading. :) Elishiva was gorgeous, you have much to be proud of there. I also really loved the one from December 4 starting "In the Valley of Death's Shadow."
