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 managed to find time to write a poem this past week while I was sitting in a Starbucks waiting for a friend to get off work. Finding time to write was pretty amazing since it was an absolutely insanely busy week. The result was a poetic prayer to one of my personal pantheon, the God of Roads.

I also found time for a short poem waiting for class to start (I got there ridiculously early). It's on persimmons.

Some more general fund money came in, so there is extra Fiorenza poetry:
"Faith as a Grain"
"Buon Natale"
"The Mystery of the Worn-Out Slippers"

I finally finished enough of my big worldbuilding project to post the first of a new fantasy series, A Conflagration of Dragons.
"The Janardanakavita"

The next Poetry Fishbowl will be on Tuesday, February 5 with a theme of "mature and old adults." Please drop by then and give me prompts!

This is the thread for non-personal, i.e. 'general' poetry news. Submission deadlines for poetry-related 'zines, news re: poets from outside the comm, and so on.
