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.

Date: 2012-10-22 06:04 pm (UTC)In fact I've long been in the habit of telling people that Robin is my imaginary 17th century poet boyfriend. :-D
I've always had a thing for "Elizabethan" lyric poetry and, of course, Herrick fits perfectly into that style/tradition.
Robin!

Date: 2012-10-21 07:12 pm (UTC)Thank you everyone who has signed up so far to participate in the upcoming multi-Hosted week These Hallowed Days. We still have an open slot remaining for Monday, Oct. 29th, if anyone has the time and desire to put something together appropriate to the theme. If you are one of the people who has already signed up, we recommend drafting your post sometime this week so that it's ready to go ahead of time when your day comes around.
Okay...
