125th Virtual Poetry Circle

virtual poetry circle
Welcome to the 125th 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 (please nominate 2011 Poetry), visit the stops on the National Poetry Month Blog Tour from April. From Soul Clothes by Regina D. Jemison (page 32):
So Beautiful Just to Die

A flower was born, and so was I
       into a world already turning
       into a universe already on course
      life predestined

to be beautiful
and flourish amongst others
different beginnings
same beauty

diversity/community

      chrysanthemums
                  petunias
           lilies
      ivies
           yuccas
                  gladiolas
      begonias
                  sun flowers
      and birds of paradise

are creative, and nurture until seasons change
and petal shed

and, then

we are born again.
