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.

Have a poetry-related post or posts this week from your own journal/space that you'd like to share with the community? Comment on this thread with the link(s) and a brief description of you're linking to.

Harvest Gold is a ballad I wrote in September and, because of reasons, have only just posted. There's a spoken-word edition as well.

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.

Do you have feedback for the various hosts of our Remembrance and Memorial Themed week?

Is there a particular post that really resonated with you? We would love for folks to share their thoughts here.

I rather enjoyed the whole week, despite it being out of season for me. I thought there was a good balance of topics and I was glad to see

raze extend it beyond the human. I also appreciated being introduced to Jo Walton's poetry by

bookblather and there were some very lovely poems by community members.

My 2013 poetry collection is not ready for publication. The only hold-up at this point is I'm waiting for the Creative Commons people to email me back with whether the solution Smashwords proposed to Smashwords doesn't want Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike language in their ebooks is a solution acceptable to Creative Commons. ARGH FRUSTRATE.

That does sound terribly frustrating.

When I am gone,
Let Shepard decorate my tomb,
And put (if there is room)
Two pictures on the stone:
Piglet from page a hundred and eleven,
And Pooh and Piglet walking (157) . . .
And Peter, thinking that they are my own,
Will welcome me to Heaven.
-A.A. Milne, on Ernest H. Shepard (illustrator of the Winnie the Pooh books)

I found this poem while working in my library and I thought it too lovely not to share.
