Sunday Picnic Full of Puns

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 wrote a poem this past week that, among other things, takes a snippet from Longfellow's Paul Revere slant and strange.

I posted another poem on my main blog. For a tiny bit of context (though it might not help), this was written very shortly after the Baseball Hall of Fame announced its voting results (they have elections for new members every year). This year, like in seven or eight previous years (most recently 1996), no recently-retired player was elected. There were many talented players on the ballot, some for the first time, but likely because of concerns about performance-enhancing drug use, none of them got that many votes.

I did my monthly poetry fishbowl this week. A bunch of new poems are up at:

There are two new series: Tripping into the Future (about time travel as a weapon) and An Army of One: The Autistic Secession in Space (about autistic soldiers founding a society of their own).

There will be a mid-month fishbowl on Tuesday, January 22 and there's a poll to decide which series to feature in that:
