Tabatha at The Opposite of Indifference is hosting Poetry Friday this week.  She's sharing a found poem by her daughter and reminding us about patience versus kicking-butt.

.This week marks the unwanted anniversary of Russian invading Ukraine.  Last Saturday, the interstate bridge over the Columbia River had many out in support of Ukraine with flags and signs.
 
​As one of the prompts of Laura Shovan's Poetry Travel, a different  photo was shared about Russians honoring victims of from the January bombing.  Sometimes the best I can do is to find a poem in the news.  I found this article at Reuters.

Found Poem from “Russians lay flowers at improvised memorials to commemorate Dnipro dead”

Remembering the Dniro Dead

laying flowers
at the monument 
to Ukrainian poet, Taras Shevchenko
improvised memorials
victims of a Russian missile attack 
​
people were still unaccounted 

One ribbon read "Forgive"
universal human values 
compassion, goodwill, grief
one way or another
this shouldn't become normal

©Poetry Friday, Week 7: Found Poetry by Moe Phillips and an Invitation

2/16/2023

Welcome to Poetry Friday.  This week Molly at Nix the Comfort Zone is hosting and her post on winter trees has my heart. I agree they are mesmerizing.

​Today I'm sharing a found poem by Moe Phillips.  Moe is a poetry friend. We've taken classes together and shared poems in a couple of books edited by Sylvia Vardell and Janet Wong(Pomelo Books).  She's also been published by  The Dirigible Balloon in Chasing Clouds edited by Jonathan Humble.  These are just a few places that Moe's been published.
Moe is the ingenious creator of The Feisty Beast.  

We have been chatting about the idea of found poetry using the "Classics" and how fun it would be to invite others to find a found poem within the pages of their favorite classic.  Today I am sharing Moe Phillips found poem.

Moby Meadow
From Moby Dick- Chapter One “Loomings” -Herman Melville
 
Deep into distant woodlands winds a mazy way.
Mountains bathed in their hill-side blue, 
like a snow hill in the air.
The great floodgates of the wonder-world swung open.
You wade knee-deep among Tiger-lilies.
And there they stand- miles of them.
Take almost any path you please.
Feel such a mystical vibration.
Like a grasshopper in a May meadow.
There is magic in it.
Be content.
Surely all this is not without meaning.

You're Invited!

On April 14, 2023, I  will be hosting Poetry Friday.  I would like to make it a Classic Found Poetry theme.  You're invited to find a classic and create a found poem from its pages.  I am listening and rereading Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte for my found poem.  I will create a pallet for us to put our poems on.  I hope you'll be inspired and join Moe and me in creating a Classic Found Poetry Palooza.

 Carol at Beyond LiteracyLink is hosting Poetry Friday along with sharing the wonderful exchange of New Year Postcards.  Which is a co-inky-dink as I am sharing as well. (Just as a poem sunburst)

2023 Poetry Postcard Exchange for the New Year
Picture
Something I am curious(my 2023 OLW) about this year is what it feels like to submit more poems with intention.  I am trying to live by the idea that if you never submit, you'll never get published.

I discovered Southern Arizona Press recently which publishes several anthologies a year.  They had a call for love poems and one of mine was accepted along with poetry friend, Moe Phillips.

I also found out that another poem and two photos will be in the upcoming  volume 13 of the Poeming Pigeon in the fall, 2023,

And with submitting, you get those rejection notices. Which happened recently.

Keep submitting is my mantra.  If you follow Jane Yolen on social media, she frequently speaks of wins and rejections.

I wrote the original draft in 2007 as a pantoum. Then within the past year or so, I discovered the quatern(it may have been a monthly challenge) and wondered about revision.

I like the quatern because it allows for more focus. ​
