Micah 6:8 (King James Version)

He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?


Thanks again Cousin, humble is the way.

"We're here to celebrate the power of words," President Obama said. Words "help us to appreciate beauty and also understand pain; to inspire us to action, and to spur us on when we start to lose hope; to lift us up out of our daily existence—even if it's just for a few moments—and return us with hearts that are a little bit bigger and fuller than they were before."

Re: We 21st Century Poets!

nice link, WS! nice follow-up, Grito!

and in chapbook news:
Gribble Press is hosting an author reading on Nov 22 in Spokane, including at least one poet who will read from her "chapbook" of poetry ... i about spit out my coffee when i saw that word ... apparently it's alive and well in many circles ...

and THEN ... chatting with a local coffee shop gal ... she said, Way Back, in the early '90s Sherman Alexie brought his chapbook of poetry to the local bookstore (Auntie's) to arrange a reading ... before he was "published" and the "Sherman Alexie" that we all know and love ...

my synchronicity share for the day ...

luv on a Wednesday!

Re: We 21st Century Poets!

harsh words there, Darlin'! alright, alright ... i'll place a note in there somewhere ... sheesh, they make you sign up, sign in, log in, and navigate a bunch of stuff ... but for YOU, because it's important ... and you're right, it could make a difference, and it's something tangible we can do

Re: We 21st Century Poets!

Yeah, Word, Dancer is right. I hate to go to those unknown links. I always get stuck buying something I don't need.

Re: We 21st Century Poets!

Okay, fellow poets, I have signed in and posted up and guess what? There is no boogie man there...it is all good and worth the effort. Thank you Word for suggesting!

Re: We 21st Century Poets!

Oh, good grief.....................

Re: We 21st Century Poets!

Geeeez.

Re: We 21st Century Poets!

Well! Children, there is nothing to be afraid of on the History Channel. You might possibly learn something.

Re: We 21st Century Poets!

Thats what I'm afraid of...lol

Re: We 21st Century Poets!

Let it be known that he who follows the garbage truck too closely, may end up in the dump...

Re: We 21st Century Poets!

gogant, i thought you were looking for gold ? !

faithwalkfarm, i left a note, too, on the History Channel site, and it WASN'T that hard

KT ... here, step-by-step instructions ... it'll be fun!
(1) follow the link
(2) click "Create Account"
(3) give name, email address, and location which are confidential, and then make up a screen name ... use your OP name ... make up a password ... and voila
(4) check your email for a note from History Channel
(5) follow the second link, something like "confirm account"
(6) leave a note about "new shows" ... think of anyone in the world you'd like to know more about, and make a (poetry-related, for WS's SAKE) suggestion about what you'd like to see in a show from the History Channel
(7) log out of the History Channel site, and you've made History!

lol ... 5 minutes ... a pain, but not too much to ask, really

luv!

Re: We 21st Century Poets!

Let these words ring out to all who will listen...let us all go to the History Channel...whether it be for Words sake or goodness sake...

Re: We 21st Century Poets!

But before I go there, I have to gather up my pans sos as to search for that gold that lies 'neath the ripples of the Yukon River...now where are my pants ?

Re: We 21st Century Poets!

IT struck me every day
The lightning was as new
As if the cloud that instant slit
And let the fire through.


It burned me in the night,
It blistered in my dream;
It sickened fresh upon my sight
With every morning’s beam.


I thought that storm was brief,—
The maddest, quickest by;
but Nature lost the date of this,
And left it in the sky.

Emily Dickinson
