Upcoming January IBPC 2017:

#1 Post by Michael (MV) » 30 Dec 2016, 02:04

 
any newcomers or returnees this month, Welcome!

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



In this thread, from the poems posted in the workshop forum during the course of the month, recommend/nominate by title & author.

Nominated poets, please acknowledge the nomination here in this thread.
Please reply by accepting or declining the nomination - in this thread.

Please note & observe: This is not a workshopping thread.

In this thread, poems that are ultimately selected to represent the Block are then posted here
as the author would like for the poem to be forwarded
along with all IBPC required info.

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

along with all the 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4/and unpublished work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.



Thanks,

Michael (MV)

being nominated isn't necessarily being selected, until
I am formally selected I am merely nominated, so I should be selected
whether formerly or non formely, but I take it that it has been selected
hence my follow up information and with my thanks. :)

'Then I was by him, as one brought up with him:
and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before
him. Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth;
and my delights were with the sons of men
.'
Prov. 8:30-31

After the war, when the minefields
were cleared and the barbed wire
rolled up from the beaches;
our mothers packed lunches
of strawberry jam and tomato
sandwiches in grease-proof paper
with the government allowance
of four fluid ounces of orange juice.

We followed the older girls
in their blue flowered frocks
in crocodiles up the sheep paths
to the tops of the sea-flung dunes
under the city on a hill:
Mynydd Dinas.

We crested the headland
where the American destroyer
had washed up on a lee shore,
resting rust red and forlorn;
a deckplate peeled off,
spars pointing to the clouds
bent like whalebone ribs.

We swam in the warm salt
breakers as the larks
called us from the
rolling meadows.

We danceed that day
glorying on the beach
of His creation.
