You are invited to the third annual Brigid in Cyperspace Poetry Reading


Well, Anne Hill asked if we were going to do this again, and I say YES! Feel free to copy the following to your blog and spread the word. Let poetry bless the blogosphere once again!

WHAT: A Bloggers (Silent) Poetry Reading

WHEN: Anytime February 2, 2008

WHERE: Your blog

WHY: To celebrate the Feast of Brigid, aka Groundhog Day

HOW: Select a poem you like - by a favorite poet or one of your own - to post February 2nd.

RSVP: If you plan to publish, feel free to leave a comment and link on this post. Last year when the call went out there was more poetry in cyberspace than I could keep track of. So, link to whoever you hear about this from and a mighty web of poetry will be spun.

Feel free to pass this invitation on to any and all bloggers.

Thank you, Reya, for beginning what is now an annual event.

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

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?

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!

at imbolc

indrawn breath through milky

calf totters back

warm, turgid

sways to stillness
firm slack nipples drip

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
