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! sun.gif

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*** wave.gif

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.

Lori,

As I said, I didn't post them as a new topic simply because we had 3 poems already nominated.

I believe I even told one author not to hurry, as it would be for August, and that I would nom them in the correct place as soon as I had time. And when they'd done all the tweaking, or not, that they wished. My guess is that they saw there was no need to hurry, rightly so.

I couldn't foresee that Sergio was going to opt out of his.

As you can see, I nominated them here for IBPC, but didn't mention any month, leaving that up to you. I see you've decided and done it all now. I don't know what you mean by tid-bits. I really don't have time for much more info and always thought that went in a private PM sent by you to the author.

Although I'm a bit erratic, I've been in the forums working quite hard during June and July, along with Snow. Where's the rest of the Staff?

Syl***
