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 I'm very pleased with earlier this week: Bodily Negotiations
[...] my bed became a battlefield
of discarded hangers marking
cairns of recalcitrant clothes
until mischief stole a sudden calm

and many thanks to [personal profile] zarhooie for passing this gem along - [poem is an image from tumblr]. Would love some help a.) transcribing it out, and b.) solving the mystery of who 'e.h.' is - my initial google fu failed me utterly.
you think achilles was of impressive descent?
touch me one more time.

love letters from helen of troy

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.

A Spell of Smoke and Notions, a fantasy story-poem.

It cost money she did not have to buy
flax and cotton fiber, or seeds to fly
where they might grow into plants needing more
tending than she could afford. So she tore
the wind into strips and wove them into
a net, and burned twigs she found fallen, strewn
over forest ground. The white smoke she caught in
the net, and she reached into the net and
spun its contents into fine soft pale thread. [...]

I wrote a poem I'm rather pleased with, Happystance, only a few lines, but quite pleased with: about those moments when depression lifts and you feel like yourself again.

<3 Love it!
The last line does remind me a bit of the Dread Pirate Roberts in The Princess Bride...in a good way!

Ellie has since very sneakily established [personal profile] rrevolutionaries here on DW for the day when I can convince her to come host a week here at the comm.
