#1 Post by Michael (MV) » 28 Aug 2015, 04:55

 
any newcomers or returnees this month, Welcome!

and here is a home link to the IBPC rules: http://ibpc.webdelsol.com/rules


Poems recommended to represent the Block are posted here in this thread, along with all IBPC required info.

When the 1-3 are decided upon, and permission granted by each author of the selected poems,

along with the all info needed by each author:


1/Your name

2/e-mail address

3/statement that the poem is your original

4/and unpublished work

5/and that you are not representing in the current IBPC

6/and the poem as you would like it forwarded to the finals.

^^ All of the above is the usual needed info as part of the process.


I will then forward the 1-3 to the IBPC finals.


Please reply - accept or decline - in this thread.

Thanks,

Michael (MV)

'Triune',is my original,unpublished poem and I am not representing any other group.My mail id is sivakamivelliangiri@gmail.com.

Triune

Rishies rise into the night sky
like helium balloons,
to peer through the miasma
and into the Manasarovar.

At about 3 in the morning, some of them
may bathe & swim in the sacred lake,
if inspired to do so;

if you are fortunate, you may catch glances
of falling and rising stars.

Only one hope surfaces in you—
you, too, only need to be a believing soul
to catch a glimpse of them.
