I'd like to thank everyone who participated in the https://www.neopoet.com/workshop/exploration-style-subject-and-critique workshop. I know there were some concerns about timing but, as we we ended the workshop, effectively, five (5) days early, I believe we can call it a success.

Hello All,
Just a quick note to let you good folks know I will be leading a workshop
on Who are the masters
June 08-17th 2015

We will be researching 19th century poets
their work their style etc
writing about them(there is a catch lol)
comparing , contrasting and composing plus discussions

Enough said though . I do not want to give away everything
Further details will follow

Memorial day approaches. In the U.S. it commemorates those who were lost in wars. So let's remember All soldiers lost by writing a poem about them. No winner or loser here because any poem thus written is a winner. Also any form is acceptable as well as any length. The only rules are that "Memorial Day" be part of the title and last day to post is May 25.

It is unfortunate that every country has had its taste of war so let's give our due to those who gave their all..........stan

when you glide

high up in the sky
the trees will sigh
and many will shed a tear
may be

but the only difference shall be
I will be looking still Lovedly--------------------------

take care the journey may be lonely
pass by gradually
and wave candidly

I'm off tomorrow to Brisbane, to visit my sister. I'll have limited access to internet for a week, so I apologise to the workshops I am involved in, if I'm awol and a little late on occasion.

In case everybody is getting tired of worrying about form and all that kind of stuff, this month's contest has only a length requirement and a requirement that your poem makes us laugh (or at least smile real big). Check it out under "contest" and have fun.............stan

There are only 3 qualified entries so far so this might be a good time to enter and give the judge something to smile about.........stan

Hello everybody. I'm pleased to announce the winner of the April contest is Mand. I hope all entrants had fun and that everyone will join me in congratulating the winner.

To Tread This Earthly Corridor - ( For April Contest )
Submitted by mand on Mon, 2015-04-06 04:24
The earth is ours, a home to live
a time to take, a time to give.
We wake each morn, some rich, some poor
to tread this earthly corridor.
