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.

This week I ended up writing a short poem after several late night ruminations of the common saying "words can only hurt you if you let them." The poem is entitled "An Ocean". CW: allusions to drowning.

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.

Today marks the first check-in for

pod_together; anyone signed up to participate in some capacity this year?

pt_lightning has a first-year-in-review and your-feedback-wanted post up — contribute your thoughts here!

As always,

poetry could use more volunteer hosts (sign up here); the comm is also seeking further suggestions for themed weeks.

Sing my Victory Songs is a beautiful, poetic piece of fiction about a poet, written by a currently anonymous author for

jukebox_fest.

I'm not really a member of the community any more, but if anybody's interested, I've been suddenly writing a whole lot of found poetry for all the World Cup games I watch (using the ESPN announcers' commentary). It's...a lot of them. It's been a really good tournament.
