There's a new sherriff in town and she is out looking for peace, justice and tranquity. This blog is to have a safe forum for me to publish my poetry, for others to enjoy, critique, and comment on said poetry. This site is for any one who enjoys a good poem.
I've just discovered www.poewar.com and 30 poems in thirty days. I'll be posting my responses to the exercises posted, so if you want to follow along with me, comparing and contrasting poems, I would love your input. Today is day one, and the requested exercise is to write a poem about your childhood.
Circumspect Childhood
compromised their
being with us,
fighting with candlesticks
Drawn.
game of Clue
parents at fault
older ones
tossing the fragile
Case of my sister
back and forth.
like rocking.
Extreme.
This poem is about arguements my parents had about my sister whom they suspected had ADD.
A single memory of a moment can make a solid poem. Sometimes simple is better.
