Wednesday's Review
.
.

The Mother Lode! 39 new poems up today; okay, not as many as a couple weeks back when it was 49, but a quick glance and I see many goodies to mention. So, let's get at 'em:
Lauren Hynde again leads off with her third in a series of audio poems, White Noise (III). While not quite as good as her premiere piece, just go ahead and experience it. Hell, do all three!
Tristesse2 has a piece out today that I swear sounds inspired by smithpeter's style. Check out The Night Of Fucking-Me-Silly.
Maria2394 takes on those over-priced grocery chains in, Screw the Demographics. The alternative, of course, is to get your groceries at the Wal-Mart Supercenter.
rachlou offers up an unusual 4-part acrostic; one for each season in, Seasonal Acrostic. Check it out, it's really quite good. Really!
beautyandwine has a nice, light, romantic piece for that hopeless romantic in all of us in, I Wish I Were a Few Years Naive.
MinorMonster gives us a tale from his region in Europe in, Skagerrak. Feel the storms lashing that envelop the region, from time to time, threatening all those living on or near the sea.
vampiredust offers us a view not commonly seen, that of a child's perspective from inside a battered woman's sanctuary in his, The Cowboy.
**********
I'm taking a short break for breakfast, but I won't make you wait. This is what I've done so far. Looks like the cream rose to the top but there's no telling what jewels remain. I'll be back to edit this in a bit and add my further thoughts below.
**********
Okay, let's strike up the band again, now that the count's up to 52, mostly of illustrated poem add-ons! First, the rest of the regular poems:
MsBug has her premiere piece in, Six String Devotion. My first impulse is to guess at a guitar, though it could also be a balalaika or perhaps something else?
Salvor-Hardon shares a moment of recollection and makes time seem to stand still in, Three hours earlier.
And there I was, racing to the finish line, when Lit adds some more, so now I'll go back to these add-on illustrated poems. First up:
Lauren Hynde takes us into church with her poem, Vitral. Also, check out her Birds.... Pay close attention to the illustration and the words and also note that almost ghost city on the horizon; lends this piece a mystical aura.
Not content with all this, Lauren now offers us another unique look at TV; check it out.
XyJonah has a tastefully illustrated piece of a woman trying to hit on another woman in a bar in, what else, Girl in a Bar.
MungoParkIII seems to never fail to disappoint. Remember Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers? Well, he's come up with an odd piece, partly about that couple and part tongue twister. Give a look at Twiddlelark and Ginger.
Okay, finally, that's it. It's a wrap. Lit had best not add more to today's onslaught. I think I've culled a good deal from today's offering of 52. There might be some others you'd like to try. Give the others a read {I dare ya}!
And remember, as I say every week, read, vote, comment ~ it's the least you can do. Above all, comment ~ a fair exchange for the pleasure of reading free poetry.
And as for me - - - I think I'll go outside and stick my head in a snow drift.
