Todays poems, 16th January are unusually weak so go back to the unreviewed yesterday and in a very contrasting set see what Minor Monster Lauren Hynde and Tristesse2 put up - much more interesting.

Good call Angie! That one caught my attention as well.

So on to today. I'll start early and hope I got them all, but the way Lit's been acting of late, you never know. In any case, there are so far only six up and but two really caught my eye.



Let's offer up a hearty Welcome Back to Curiouswife after her too long absence. The Offer she brings before us is an offer I'm sure many would decline most heartily.

ShyErraticTable honors us with another effort at a form poem; once again a sonnet, Sonnet on Infidelity. SET, you ought to try for the perfect color ~ purple!




Well, that's it for now unless Manu sneaks in another couple dozen late poems. If so, I'll be watching to see if they have anything worth recommending. In the meantime, like I always keep saying, read, vote, comment ~ it's the least you can do. Above all, comment ~ a fair exchange for the pleasure of reading free poetry.

Thursday Review

Greeting all, I have an interesting suggestion today. First of all, here's a link to the New Poems. Please check them out. Secondly, I'd like to recommend Owen's Song: The Consummation by golden smog. Old fashioned, but lovely, and really reminiscent to me of some of Colin Meloy's writing. Give it a read, I enjoyed it heartily.

for Friday...

Pennies from Heaven by Templeminded ... I had to mention this touching write for I feel the poem has a wonderful, witty and charming meaning and is touching in a personal way

New Poem Reviews

there were only three poems out this morning
so I waited till this afternoon to read them... and
14 poems arose this day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ideally by beautyandwine

excerpt;
In an ideal world,
I'd never hide a thing,
and we'd be as open
as newborn stars,
letting everything shine
in awkward brilliance.


... need I say more?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Faded Glory by curiouslylovable...
this poem expresses a unique look at life (~_~) I enjoyed the read but mostly some of the lines are truely poetic and inspirational, balancing the good and bad that life offers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``

have a quality day (~_~)
 
The Sunday Review

Only 4 new poems up today

Nothing has caught my attention, will check back later if more have been posted
 
Better Late than Never

Still not feeling very well, but I did just read this past Friday's peoms and there are two that I would highly recommend. First is The Power of Words by Preta, which is a strange and strangely erotic poem, and the second is Vancouver, Dec. 14, 2006 by Tristesse2 because it is a masterful gale of a poem and because she is the only poet besides me I know who actually used Boreus in a poem! That may not mean much to you poets, but I just love eclectic references.

Please read, vote and comment.

Tuesday: En martes, ni te cases ni te embarques

Hey y'all. Nine New Poems up today. There's a nicely creepy piece called Love Letter by sajaxom. Check them all out, and please do comment. Feedback makes Jesus and the children of the world very happy.

See y'all Thursday,

Wednesday's Review

.
.
.

A relatively busy day with 16 pieces to look at ~ so far.

Rybka starts off the day with a fine example of haiku in Shadow Theater. It's only in the winter that such contrasts are so vivid.

MinorMonster is at it again with an amusingly thought-provoking piece, Contemplating Tao in a Prezzo Brew.

tiana offers us A Woman's Plight. Now she needs to work at her craft and this is a bit long; thankfully, it's not a long-winded prose piece. Its saving grace is the twist that she develops, give it a try.

ShyErraticTable does it again with a wry look at a new poet's woeful shortcomings in O Knave, Where Is Thy Poesy.

RhymeFairy has a sweet piece out today, written in dedication to our very own Maria, Planting Season.

And finally, Lauren Hynde has another one of her pieces out today that is pure Lauren Hynde, Concavity/Convexity. I'd say more but I must read it a few more times to best digest it and I do need to get this posting done today; give it a read and see what you think.

Well, that's it for now ~ unless we get another handful later this afternoon (it's now 9am here in the eastern U.S.) Give the rest a look, there may be something that appeals to your tastes, and by all means, read, vote, comment ~ it's the least you can do. Above all, comment ~ a fair exchange for the pleasure of reading free poetry.

I'd like to add Lost; by cock whore to the recommendation roster. A nice little piece that is as long as it has to be, and not a syllable longer. There's a whole story there in those ten (title included) short words.

Thursday - Critique Jeudi

Hey y'all. Quite a few New Poems up today. My personal picks:

Reading by ShyErraticTable is quite lovely.

Wedding Night by MungoParkIII sneaks up on you.

Also, congrats to recklesschild, who received a little green 'E' for This is a Sex Poem.

Give them all a read, enjoy, and have a good one. I'm off to teach Kindergarten.

Have a great weekend, everyone.

Do not miss

"Untitled(admission of Guilt) by Maria 2394. Apart from the words she has achieved a curiously compelling rythmn which is worth reading aloud.
 
Friday, January 26th

Dear readers, there are 47 new poems posted today (oy). I shall fortify myself and return with my picks later.
 
1/26/07 Batch 1

The first group of my recommendations for today:

I know My Rites by Vermillion is a simple, almost sing-songy poem that is also, by dint of its subject matter, very moving. The tension between the writer’s matter-of-fact voice and the subject (which recalled, for me, the requirements of a pharoh’s buriel) works very well.
*************************************************
And then there are two poems by, imo, the poet most likely to rule the world: Lauren Hynde. Now I admit I hold Lauren to a higher standard than most people I read because I know what she is capable of producing and, having said that, neither Lost Blues nor Sea Breeze is among her best. This is a relative statement: Lauren couldn’t write a bad poem if she tried. Lost Blues has lovely moments where Lauren’s voice is clear:

Don't say a thing; don't tire
your purity of a broken bird.
I know it resonates
in every song
aligned in ceremony;
we can't escape
the presage of melodies.

but the sections where she names musicians works less well, imo. And where are the blues? Ok, lost but maybe a mention of what is lost? (For La Hynde’s definitive statement on the blues, read her marvelously illustrated Blue-Green Blues.) And Lauren, no laughing at the Beatles! :D

Her other submission, Sea Breeze is more effective. Lauren writes about the sea (probably because she lives so near it) better than most, and that facility comes across in this brief evocation of an ocean breeze. With only a few verbs, simple images and some skillful shaping she creates a mind picture so clear you can feel the wind carress your imagination. The poem could use some (very light) editing, I think, and would work even better as an illustrated piece, but it’s good, really good. Overall, I’m really glad to see her work in the 30 Poems in 30 Days thread. I can feel her flexing her poetic muscles. (And yes I probably write more about Lauren’s poems than anyone else’s because I know her style so well.)
*************************************************

Another Moralistic Sonnet by ShyErraticTable is yet another wonderful example of this poet’s exploration of the sonnet form. I don’t find it particularly moralistic, but rather a revelation of his own struggle to choose between a sensual flight of fancy and honest description. The tension between those two is really well balanced. His choice to move, in the poem, from the former to the latter clarifies what he finds more meaningful and makes for a strong, effective piece of writing. I really enjoy reading his sonnets and have no doubt you will find this one a fine addition to his take on the form.

His other submission today, Sonnet XVI is also well worth your time. He pokes and prods at the form in the manner of the best modern sonnet writers.
*************************************************

That’s it for now. I have to brave the -23 weather (yikes huh?), but will return later with more reviews.

1/26/07 Batch 2

For wet faces and red eyes by DilutedPoet is a strange poem that hovers between love and enmity. I think it needs some editing and/or explication to strengthen it, but it has some wonderful strong imagery.

DilutedPoet’s other submission today, Mother Moon is the weaker of the two submissions although it, too, has some strong imagery. With some editing to clarify its meaning, this has potential.
*************************************************

My Erotic Trail paints a pretty pastoral scene in another blossom sails. The poem has some lovely imagery, such as:

Another butter colored morning bloom
as twighlight melts the night
over an ocean's lingering tail
a reflective waterway's colorful trail
woven through an entwined forest
of rolling hills, oaks and tall timbered pines.
*************************************************

I saved my pick of the day for last. It’s Vintage Years by Preta who contnues to impress me with the poignant delicacy of his? her? writing. This poem could use some editing, imo, but it conveys a beautiful swirl of emotion: fear, irony, resignation--

If I sit still long enough,
I can hear panther paws over the crusted snow.
There will be no trace in the morning,
but I will know mortality was here last night,
and once again I raise a glass in defiance,
and die on the vine.
Die on the vine.
*************************************************

That’s it for my recommendations. You may find others that you would like to cite (my recommendations are my taste, after all), and if you do please do so here.

Have a wonderful weekend poets and stay warm!

Peace,
Angeline

Monday's Review

.
.
.

Who wants to volunteer to do Monday reviews? Blue threw them open last Wednesday and I hadn't heard of any takers, so I'll cover this morning's posting of 10 audio poems.

But the question remains, who wants to pick up Mondays?

Lauren Hynde leads off with her first ever poem with audio in White Noise (I). Don't be disappointed at not hearing her speak but the work is still quite unique ~ isn't that always her case?

MungoParkIII offers up a piece that sounds like a remembrance of 1938's Crystal nacht in Hourglass.

Finally, Vermilion offers up a hot erotic audio piece in Something.... Okay, so maybe it's her English accent. I've always thought that, on a woman, an English accent is so sexy.

Again, Monday seems to be open so how about a volunteer. And if any more poems pop up later today, hope someone else will pick them up. In the meantime, there is sure to be something in the new poems list that appeals to you. Give 'em a read and, like I always say, read, vote, comment ~ it's the least you can do. Above all, comment ~ a fair exchange for the pleasure of reading free poetry.

Adding 3 to today's recommendations:

Net by bluerains - E marked for a reason
Breathless by Lauren Hynde - even when Lauren doesn't ace it, she writes a damn purdy poem
Oyster by Nirvanadragones - an interresting experience of elegant prosodics
