Peaches Upon Sweet Juicy Words (Sunday Picnic at the You-Pick Farm)

[jjhunter]

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.

Peaches does seem to be the theme of the week: my mom-in-law served peach cobbler for dessert on Tuesday, the chef at Tayst closed his tasting menu with peach-cobbler-in-a-cup on Wednesday, and a friend gave us a jar of preserved peaches on Saturday.

Speaking of food, PRISM is looking for food-related poems and such. Deadline is August 28:

And speaking of poems, Mary Alexandra Agner is looking for formal poems about war or pantoums about anything. Deadline is September 15:

Neat! And thanks for the heads up re: the two submission opportunities- I know I'll definitely be giving both some thought.
