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
The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you. "There is no life higher than the grasstops Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind Pours by like destiny, bending Everything in one direction." Sylvia Plath, Crossing the Water, Wuthering Heights.

I've just received an email from David Ayers at the IBPC as follows:
QUOTE Lori, hi. Sergio Ortiz had another entry from a different board, and he has chosen to have that one go on to the judge this month. If you'd like, you can substitute another poem to represent Mosaic Musings in place of "Madness." Thanks, David We do not have any other poems nominated (or at least 'finalized' to go for the July competition) at this time, so we will only be submitting Maureen's poem this round. Best of luck! ~Lori ······· ·······"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door.
