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.
My contributions to the picnic basket this week. :)

Date: 2012-03-26 11:23 am (UTC)weekly roundup - call for contributions

Date: 2012-03-26 05:38 am (UTC)Three poems here (including an etheree!), then a double etheree here (which deals with domestic violence, if you want to put a trigger warning on the link), and a butterfly cinquain here.
I have to say, this comm is doing WONDERS for my poetry production levels.
Re: weekly roundup - call for contributions
Date: 2012-03-26 11:58 am (UTC)Should I mark any of them as entries for Challenge #3? (You're eligible to win that one this week; not eligible to win #4 since you won the reader's challenge last week, but you're free to do the latter too just for fun if you like.)

Date: 2012-03-25 02:17 pm (UTC)I dare you to do both challenges this week - I think you'd enjoy them, and I'd be especially fascinated to see what you'd do with #4.
And Now, For Something Completely Different: your icon is win!tastic.

Date: 2012-03-25 02:21 pm (UTC)We shall see - I'm kind of enjoying lurking and commenting randomly, and the moving is eating my time. Then again, I would like to make some space for myself and poetry. We shall see.
I love Picard. He is my hero. Also, Patrick Stewart. I saw him in the Scottish Play in real life, it was the best birthday ever.
