Welcome to the 223rd 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 2013 Dive Into Poetry Challenge because its simple; you only need to read 1 book of poetry. Check out the stops on the 2013 National Poetry Month Blog Tour and the 2012 National Poetry Month Blog Tour.
Today’s poem is from Robert Lee Brewer’s Solving the World’s Problems:
worried about ourselves
we've finally reached the point at which we
invent reasons to get upset we cast
spells on ourselves curse our own conventions
once the moon was a ghost haunting these fields
a confirmation of things to come now
the moon's rock surrounded by darkness
we praise our new awareness and question
our motives we ask why until we run
short on answers what happens when we have
time to think we transform x into y
and dismiss the existence of z now
only a letter that signals the end
What do you think?

I wonder about the importance of the line setup and spacing in this poem. I wasn’t wowed by the poem itself, but my head is foggy today so it’s probably not the right time to read poetry.
