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.

My poems "Sweet 16th" and "Novecento" are part of Alimentum's National Poetry Month menupoems feature. Whee!

p.s. Roasted beet = om nom nom!

My Poetry Fishbowl sold out. I don't have the followup post done, but some polls are running and the unsold poetry list has links to a bunch of stuff.
