Upcoming December IBPC 2018:

#1 Post by Michael (MV) » 29 Nov 2018, 23:50

 
Voice your recommendation(s) here, and

Please let us know ASAP if you are not going to be available to represent the Writer's Block -

then we will know not to consider your poems further this month's IBPC.

I/we will be looking for consensus - in keeping with a communal workshop environment

Which 1-3 would we like to see represent the Writer's Block in the finals?

After the 3 are selected, then will each author post - in this thread - the poem as the poet would like it forwarded,

and ALL the needed info/statements

Ideally, the only poems that really need to appear here are the final 3, when announced, hopefully by the 1st of the month, if not sooner

^^ the intent is organizational - if poems appear here before the selection of the final 3, then there is a congestion -

Until the final 3 are announced, please maintain poems & workshopping to the Workshop Forum. Thanks.



************

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4/and unpublished work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

Thanks for the nom Bob. Here is the poem should it be selected.

1/Dale Patterson

2/dalepatterson@comcast.com

3/the poem is mine

4/and is an unpublished work

5/and that I am not representing in the current IBPC

The Miracle of Flight

A man walks through corn
dank furrows
towering green
that absorbs humid yellow.

He is angry and tired
of fighting his wife
things that are set
and beyond his control.

As he reaches
the edge of the field
a silver plane drones
dips a wing to the earth.

He waves and wonders
if the pilot can see him
or cares he is high
on Scotch whiskey.

Thanks for the nomination, Bob. I have made many revisions on this so I hope it still meets with your approval.
Here is my info, should it be chosen.

My name: Eira Needham
Email is: presentideaseira@hotmail.com
This is my original poem
and hasn't been published elsewhere
This is my final revision

Indian Summer

slips through the haze
a breath on my cool cheek;

the flush of warmth bewilders,
swallows linger in brittle reeds.

Shadows dance as light dwindles.
Teasing sighs, a kiss before

we tango with a flurry of lime
and copper across appliqued lawns.

East wind blasts; a spangled rime
surrenders to brume.
