For our next community themed week, we are abandoning any pretense at dignity whatsoever in favor of five fabulous days of unabashed wallowing in words wonderful words. Drawing inspiration from this anon poll of the same name, let's celebrate what makes diction scintillate. In poetry or prose, recording or poetic complement, let's share memories, musings, meetings, meta, mottoes, meanings, meanderings, materials and more - whatever moves you, whatever delights you, whatever you'd like to share that feels fitting for this week's theme.

If you would like to participate, please comment on this post to claim a particular open slot and briefly tease us with some sense of what you'll post. You may also use the comment section to solicit collaborators for a group post.

( Available days behind the cut )

Sunday Picnic In the Sweet Coolness of Evening

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.
