Re: Cheers from Qwerty

Hi Qwerty, Welcome to the fray. Hm. A technical writer with a tutor for poetry. I wrote that as if to convince myself. Wonder what your tutor has to say about prose poetry. I'm a part-time poet whose iambic measures are off but I write from the soul and hope things fall into place. I'm looking forwa...

Re: Me

Hi Ray, A belated welcome to TTB. This board has been quiet lately. It livens up during the Midsummer Poetry Fest and for the 30 days of April NaPoWriMo madness. I hope to see you here. I'm a sporadic user but always find my way back to my poetic homies here at TTB. Great to meet you and enjoy the s...

Re: My Angel

Qwerty, I had to ruminate on this and absorb it under two different frames of mind, and I'm glad I did. This is such a beautifully layered, sparsely worded poem. I got as much reading between the lines as I did absorbing the words. I see the N as a young father with an ancient soul. And of course, t...

Re: Poetry Aloud

I'm glad you enjoyed the links and listening to Glenis. She truly is a force of nature. If you can make the Ojai Storyteller's Festival, you won't be disappointed. They have an excellent group of storytellers this year. A festival pass is the way to go if you can swing it. Click here to get a look a...

Re: Poetry Aloud

Qwerty, I'm not sure where I'll do my poetry. The storyteller's festival in Ojai, California that I won two all-access tickets and dinner with the tellers was canceled this year because of Covid-19. I planned on trying the open mic there but the October festival was canceled in March, so I didn't pr...

Re: Advice to My Widow Following My Fatal Kayak Accident

Hi Tracy! Your poem was not at all what I expected and I found it delightfully, cleverly morbid. :) The title brought me right in and the substance did not disappoint. I had to read it twice before I realized just how clever it is. I felt like I went through an entire mystery in a short span of word...

Re: Poetry Aloud

Being a lover of storytellers and storytelling festivals with performance poets, I can say without a doubt this is all solid advice. I have yet to do a live rendition of my own work but I'm looking forward to the day it can be done. I'm also looking forward to hearing more from the folks here this y...
