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.

Date: 2013-05-19 03:09 pm (UTC)you always feared god-born achilles
the most of all your fellows.
his divinity wove him taller,
better, quicker, stronger.
well here's a secret for you:
my father was a swan,
and the monthly blood on my thighs
is two-parts ichor.
you think achilles was of impressive descent?
touch me one more time.
maybe it's time we found out
what the daughter of the mightiest god
can do.
look to your kingdoms.
i am coming for them all.
