UPDATE: AS of July 6th (last day for submissions), Sergio has opted to have a different poem from a different board submitted this month. Best of luck!
Hi Lori!  I would like to nominate Sergio's (saore's) poem "Madness" for July's IBPC. Here's the link: Madness Madness by Sergio Ortiz Weeping muse... you make me fall into a thick misty river, the tundra where my poems gather. Madness enters on the wind, the jolt of a wild animal thrashing from a spasm, its eyes seek mine in despair. O my first dead— Which winter squall carries my disordered pages, the shroud of tears we will inhabit, the gravesite where all spit their epitaphs? I think it's a deftly written, delicate piece on the subject of muses and madness, reminiscent of some of Plato's thoughts, but in modern day language. Cheers, Syl***  ·······  ·······Mis temas favoritos

This one was sent into the staff forum a few days back by Sylvia (Psyche):
QUOTE Hi Lori!  I'd like to nom Maureen's poem "Not Quite White", FV for the next IBPC, whenever that is. I believe the link is: Not Quite White. NOT QUITE WHITE by Maureen Clifford White was nice, white was bland, white was not a colour. God, he was sick of white – neutral white – blank palette white. White overalls, white dustsheets. Everyone was the same, like bloody sheep following the leader. They all wanted white. Where were the blues, the pistachios, cerise and aubergines? When had white become the go? Safe old white – cold white. Icy white, white out, antique white. What’s right with white? He sat under the filtered light from the skylight, smelt the fresh plaster, noted the grain in the timber banisters soon to be painted white and as he stirred and stirred the colours deepened, became strong and vibrant. Alive. He smiled. Surrounded by glass he stood viewing the panorama of nature's vibrancy. Green and blue, yellow buttercups, wild crocus and fluffy white clouds. He began to paint his walls... Not quite white. I have contacted Maureen. YAY! Congrats! ~Cleo
