PoetryFest!

Tonight at 7pm I'll be at the Moravian Book Shop for the monthly poetry circle. I almost brought the acoustic along - what with Musikfest going on it's fitting - but the rain and humidity don't go well with wood instruments in water soluble chipboard cases.

I do have new poems to read - including three that I still haven't posted here. Mostly, I got distracted and stopped half way through the bunch I wrote a couple weeks ago. =)

I'd like to stay and watch Brother at 9pm down at the Volksplatz, but I may not make that - was wiped out yesterday, and don't want to push it.

On Saturday morning at 9am I plan on being at the Lehigh Gap Nature Center to do some clean-up - pulling invasives, maybe doing some brush-mowing if we can get the DR there.

The Words

The Words
By Everett A Warren
July 24, 2007

When I start out
with blank page
I often have in mind
an idea
a snippet
a phrase
a concept
When the words flow
I have no
knowledge
no understanding
of where they may go
I must switch who I am
to learn such things:
from writer
to reader
I must become
to find out what
story is told
and what
lives within
the words
