Welcome to the 104th Virtual Poetry Circle!
Remember, this is just for fun and is not meant to be stressful.
Keep in mind what
Molly Peacock’s books suggested. Look at a line, a stanza, sentences, and images; describe what you like or don’t like; and offer an opinion. If you missed my review of her book, check it out
here.
Also, sign up for the
2011 Fearless Poetry Reading Challenge because its simple; you only need to read 1 book of poetry. Please contribute to the growing list of
2011 Indie Lit Award Poetry Suggestions, visit the stops on the
National Poetry Month Blog Tour from April.
Today’s poem is from Carl Adamshick’s
Curses and Wishes, which I hope to review soon, on page 9.

You had been gone a few days.
The place went looking for you,
unaware you were returning.
I remained lonely in the evening
when the moon broadcasted
silence through the dust.
My love was once
a faint blue tear
of thin glass glowing
in my chest.
Now my love is you.
It must be three in the afternoon
and I am trying to sleep
on your side of the bed.
Let me know your thoughts, ideas, feelings, impressions. Let’s have a great discussion…pick a line, pick an image, pick a sentence.
I’ve you missed the other Virtual Poetry Circles. It’s never too late to join the discussion.
