Brigid in Cyperspace Poetry Reading - Original Poem “Venn Diagram”
To celebrate the Feast of Brigid (otherwise known by it’s contemporary name, as Groundhog’s Day), the folks at branches up, roots down are instigating the Third Annual Brigid in Cyberspace Poetry Reading.
Here are the guidelines:
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.
OK, so I’m a day late. I don’t think the friendly pagans at branches up will mind. I wrote this as an excersize in reading and responding to a poem that I didn’t like. I took it and wrote something new that is influenced by it, borrows ideas from it, but represents my experience and my voice. Thanks for reading.
