Today's poet

[Harry H Howgill]

Fantastic it's obvious but sometimes as i believe in this case the simple ideas are best. Would it be Fell Poets Society and maybe a little badge/logo on the chest and Poetry In Motion on the back across the shoulder blades and then a poem of the individuals choice below that. I know someone suggested that last point just can't remember who.

Sounds good. Just need some consensus on the colour and logo now. But that is one for another day. I'm off now. Night all.

[Nathaniel Lee]

Night Hes and Harry.

I did think of including footprints somehow either made from words of a poem or maybe the words 'Poetry in Motion' I will think about it and we could bounce some ideas around on our first meeting. It needs to be subtle but meaningful to us I reckon.

I did like OW's suggestion of the syllables of the haiku:
-----
-------
-----
but it may be a bit too obscure, maybe I could do a few sketches (and anyone else who fancies having a go).

I'm heading up to but its been nice chatting with you Tri. Night, hope you have a good day tomorrow.

[Nathaniel Lee]

Sounds great Hes. You get off to bed if your tired it'll all come together in due course.

Fell Poets Society is 7 syllables, so that could be a middle line if we wanted to make a haiku out of it.

I think I'll be leaving the sketching to you. It isn't really my forte!

I will have a think over night about that one. The old brain is tiring.

After a Day We Stay in Bed Until the Sun is Close to Setting
by: Lyn Lifshin (1942- )

From Cold Comfort
He drives home
thru the black trees
with a poem
about me that will
make him famous
starting in his
fingers. He wishes
the wheel was his
Olympia typewriter.
He needs to get my
hair where he can
touch it on the long
drive thru the pine
trees, my musk still
drenching the car.
I want to read
this poem almost as
much, dazed, the
night's performance
has sucked me flat
and pale as an empty
sheet of non erasable
bond, has pulled
all color, all the
wet moist verbs
out the way he took
the stories I told
and made them in
to his own surreal
dreams. Even my
leaves and branches
became the green
arms of a child.
My mouth is dry, I
need to have his
poem where my clove
nipples press into his
blue striped cotton
smelling of sun and
wind in the pine
trees, a mirror that
will reflect my dark
eyes. I need this as
much as he needs
to invent me to
become himself.

Oo la la ! just catching up on last night's thread..i missed a treat
