This week's prompt was Utopia, and I just happen to have a poem that suits:
the bubbling place
I have been here
on the shore
all nightthe channel is filled
with sea creaturesdolphins
whales
manateethey call to me
I grow wings
& the angel
shows me how to use themI have been lost
swimming
for a long timeflamingos & fire lizards
play together in a forest
stripped of leavesthey lose their ball
& look for it
in the pelican's mouthgulls & eagles & ravens fly
together in a great swarm
like beesto the sea
From Liz Elayne:
Please note that this will be the last organized edition of the Thursday "Traveling Poetry Show." A big thank you to Delia, Carolee, Jillypoet, and Tracie Lyn who hosted Thursday posts these last few weeks.
At this time, a new project will not be taking its place (though I have this secret dream that the traveling project will just keep going and going all by itself).
This saddens me greatly. I hope that someone with the energy and skills will step forward, and that Liz Elayne will pass the site and the responsibility on. The site -- and the passion -- that she generated is too important to allow to fade -- and it has, inevitably, faded these past few weeks, in the absence of a place and a person to shepherd us.
