As my rich reading nooks. Check ...

Wilda Morris's Poetry Challenge: February 2015

Wilda Morris's Poetry Challenge. Wednesday, February 25, 2015. My American University Coffee Mug. Balistreri picked “Barista:” by Caroline Johnson as winner. Henry says the Lakota called it black medicine. I can imagine Black Elk drinking from a gourd,. Huddling around a teepee with a peace pipe. Sometime in July when the cherries are ripe. Henry looks at each customer with green eyes. Full of gourmet hot chocolate and caramel mochas. He moves his arms across the espresso machine,. The line is long:.

Here is my poem based on the iconic churches of St. Denis and Chartres, a suggestion of the inspiration for Gothic architecture, with its opening up of space and light, replacing Romanesque.” Here is his poem:. The Abbot in Autumn. Abbot Suger surely stood. Beneath an aisle of ancient trees. And marveled at its height,. Its rise and great limbs arching.

Wilda Morris's Poetry Challenge. Friday, July 31, 2015. July Challenge Winner - An Advice Poem. The winning poem in the July Poetry Challenge uses a metaphor from soccer to advise a young poet. It is a fairly complex metaphor, but then soccer and the writing of poetry are complex, each in its own way. Here is the winning poem:. Advice to a Young Poet. You don’t have to love. But know it will be your. Hit readers with the shine. Of new currency, or tarnish. The dank water of a well. You feel it,. The judg...

Wilda Morris's Poetry Challenge: June 2014

http://wildamorris.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Wilda Morris's Poetry Challenge. Friday, June 27, 2014. June 2014 Poetry Challenge Winner. I am the wind. The weary sailor looks out to sea. Mirrored in the glassy stillness of the water. Raising his rope scarred fist to the sky. He curses and rails. Then pleads and prays. A dot of red. Dancing against a summer-blue sky. Tethered to the small hand. Of a laughing child. I watch the joy of the tiny figure. I could leave; I could steal. Instead, I play. An old woman, some say a crone. Bent with her years.
