Hi Oak! I have put this info on my blog at
http://www.jacksononthemoon.com/blogger/blogger.html
I am happy to do this, I think it will be fun.
www.jacksononthemoon.com is my work website, but my latest work is at
www.vancouverislanddiet.com
Which is a site responding to the 100 Mile Diet and coming up with a unique Island solution. Please check it out and I already know what poem I am going to put at Brigid.
BB to you all..my email is sej51 at telus.net
I have lost everyone's email somehow. Sigh
Love
Sharon Jackson
The link you have to my poetry post may get lost as I write other things, so here is the specific link to the entry that contains a poem I wrote ever so long ago. Thanks Oak, for posting the general invite!
Love you,
Anne
I have posted this at Executive Pagan as well and plan to participate.
Oh how lovely! Yes, I will certainly participate. I'll post the announcement first thing tomorrow on my blog as well as as well as my website.
- Beth
I am pro poetry - and I vote. I'll spread the word. Thanks!
I will post info and on Feb 2, a poem,
thanks.
Please count me in! I enjoyed this so much last year.
Oh, thank you for doing this! I'll post your post at my blog and I'll be honored to find a poem for Brighid the Bright on Imbolc. What a lovely tradition!
I'll post something on February 2. Thanks for keeping this idea going!
Hi, Deborah! I like your idea of poetry for Imbolc. I've posted one by Wendell Berry over at Quaker Pagan Reflections. Cat and I thought we would do a total of three poems, to honor the Triple Goddess.
I would love to participate! Thanks for doing this, Oak! :)
Yay! I love silent poetry day!
Thanks! I posted the info. on Seers and Seekers.
You are invited to help to form what we become:

Chironic Vision
Part I
The future descends
from the fear-embroidered skies
the vision is of holocaust -- when everybody dies
A new day is dawning, but is it sun or storm?
We have a chance to make our mark
but is it right or wrong?
The military marches
The anti-warriors too
We take our stand in battle
The many and the few
Spinning tales of magic, of wizardry and fate
We want to know just how it ends before it's all too late
We sing our song too late
We right our wrongs too late
We want to know the date
To find a better fate
Can I tell you?
Can I help you to know or understand?
Can I utter the words that will make you see me?
Standing here before you, I want to take your hand
to be swirled up into a magical dancing
to be taken to worlds of beauty entrancing
to give you the will and the wonder to set you free.
Can you see me?

What a wonderful idea for community celebration! I love it! I have posted the invitation in my LiveJournal and will be posting poetry on Imbolc!
Dennis will be posting a poem for Brigid. Dennis wants to know what time the groundhog will be served.
I will try to write a poem about my river.
Hello Oak, Last year when You sent this invitation blogs were still a mystery to me so we had a mini web on wimminsmoondrum@yahoogroups.com.
This year I have a blog: moondrummer.blogspot.com am not sure how to do the links etc but there are already a few poems on my as yet few entries and I shall add at least one for imbolc. Thank you for the invite!
Bríd Wyldearth
I shall do it! I think I know just the thing...
done it the past 2 years and will be doing so again this year

Dear Deborah, glad to see you writing again. My blahg has been a bit blahgged down lately. Thank you for the inspiration to write poetry on the 2nd.
See you Friday : )
I've put a note up on my quietspaces LJ about the poetry reading. On Feb. 2nd, I will put a poem on my blog at http://themomentsbetween.blogspot.com --hopefully, something original, but something, at any rate.
Liz Bennefeld
Since Peter put up his favorite poem on Sunday, it was my turn to do so today. Over at Quaker Pagan Reflections, my favorite Robert Frost is up at Imbolc Poetry Challenge Part II.
Part III, one of Penny Novack's poems, with a more obviously Pagan theme, will go up on Thursday.
Happy Imbolc!
Taking part in the third annual Brigid in Cyberspace Poetry Reading, I'm putting up 3 haiku I've done over at Here's The Pitch.

I have started a new side blog and participated there. I re-posted last year's entry as I found it spoke to me even more now than it did when I first wrote it.

at imbolc
indrawn breath through milky
mucused lips
calf totters back
drunk, full
gazes new-eyed
at cobwebbed boards
warm, turgid
heavy udder
sways to stillness
firm slack nipples drip
milk drops on the straw
I have a nice poem and picture in honor of Brigid at my site.

Hmm. I'll try that again.
Here's my blog post.
We salute you from across the sea, three cats with a taste for a poem. We dug around in the studio of the woman who lives with us and found a salute to the raven, to Brigid and to the Morrigan, lurking almost forgotten in a corner.
We thank you for the web of poetry you wrap around the world.
I heard about this from Inanna; I've posted here. Wonderful idea!
love this idea

Here's mine.
http://purecrafty.blogspot.com/2008/02/bloggers-silent-poetry-reading.html
I found out about this in my readings of the Yarn Harlot. I put up an Ofelia Zepeda poem on my blog: http://www.achairandtwoapples.com
I've posted my poems for the Silent reading. Was reminded by The Yarn Harlot too.
Just posted this... seriously under the wire! 11:59pm ;)
I am, not happiness.
Thank you, Oak
Great idea. Ode to a pair of socks
Many thanks for doing this. I have put a favorite on my journal, but as the journal was started in a time before blogs you have to go to it at http://www.jackiemorris.co.uk/now.htm
I love this poem, Tonight I Can Write, by Pablo Neruda. I know nothing about the man and few of his other poems but this spell of poetry that wraps around the world has led me to buy his book of love poems, so thank you for taking me by the hand and leading me back to him
Jackie
A little John Donne has appeared chez moi.
This is a wonderful event and thank you for facilitating. I have posted a Robert Frost poem at www.jeweltomes.blogspot.com. Cheers and thanks! Julie
A little bit late, but I've posted some Wallace Stevens for Brigid on her day at Blogickal.
I'm late commenting, but mine is at http://halfassedknitter.blogspot.com

Thank you for once again hosting this lovely event.
I posted my poem yesterday at
http://knitdevil.blogspot.com/2008/02/silent-poetry-reading-for-feast-of-st.html
Blessed Brigid!
I posted one today. I can't believe I almost forgot about Brigid in Cyberspace!
http://righteouslyhexed.blogspot.com/2008/02/brigid-in-cyberspace-2008.html
Taking strong advantage of the fact that the actual date of St. Brigid's day seems to be in dispute (some sources say Feb 1, some say Feb 2, and the one's I'm clinging to today say Feb 3, I've posted my poem:
The Dedication from Through the Looking Glass ...
http://shadowdancer.typepad.com/blog/2008/02/st-brigids-day.html
I'd never heard of this, so I'm glad I stumbled on it! Great idea.
Sorry I'm a day late! Well, I hope you don't mind. My poem is up at:
http://www.chrispommier.com/blog
I joined in on my blog http://otterwise.blogspot.com, having encountered it this year (and last) on Stephanie Pearl-mcPhee's blog
http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/
I wish I had known about this sooner. What a fantastic idea.
I picked up the Feast of Brigit Silent Poetry Day at Not A Plain Jane's blog and at last (!!!!), thrill seeker that I am, I traced it's origins back to yours. Thank you!
I chose On the Sea, by John Keats, in keeping with the an Ocean theme.
I've just seen this today - what a pity I missed it by two days. Makes a cyber note for next year.
I shall check out a few of the links on here too. As if I didn't spend enough time online. ;-)
spiden@springnet1.comSuch wonderful poems!
I enjoyed reading some of them very much!
I was late getting my poem up, but I posted it on my blog anyway.
At http://bassetknitter.blogspot.com
It is one of my very favorite Wintery poems by Robert Frost!
:)
I love browsing the silent poetry. My contribution can be found at:
