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.

"Day 162:" The Baltimore Orioles fail to win their division, meaning that they would have to win a one-game playoff in order to reach the main playoffs. This is the first year that one-game playoffs have been built into the schedule. Also, the night of the presidential debates.
"Ronnie:" About the Chicago Cubs' announcer, Ron Santo, who died two years ago.
"Wild Birds:" The Orioles win their playoff, and so do the St. Louis Cardinals. The latter team benefit from a controversial call of the "infield fly rule," prompting the other team to play the game under protest and the fans to throw their garbage onto the field.
"Division Series, Day 1:" The main series get underway. Pat Neshek pitches for the Oakland Athletics, despite his son dying 23 hours after he was born two days prior.
