Challenge - Jan 2012
Write a New Year’s Resolution poem using these three key words in your poem: Be, Do, Have
Example:
I will be the light of peace and happiness
in everything I do
I have the wisdom of the standing oak
through many storms and the courage
of its new leaves

Challenge – Dec 2011
Write an I Am poem. Title will be I Am.
Examples I am the voice whispering in your ear and the fear screaming in your head. I am the lullaby you sing and the missing teen you seek. I am the company you keep and the lies you chant.

In Aromas Cafe we sit

exchanging stories, fall in love

Why Poetry?
In poetry there is so much space for the reader to fill. That is why one can live in it, swim and soar in it. ~ mc
What is poetry?
Many great poets have left us not having properly described what is was they were doing.

Mona Lisa
pulls herself together
like a water-filled balloon.
You can see it in her eyes,
an awkward trace, something
disconnected. Leo paints
a smile on her face.
