Fellow Tumblrs, you can show your support for me by going to the link above and Voting (not liking) my “baiku” for this little contest that ends today.

Here’s a couple other “baiku” that didn’t make it in:

down-shifting up the
MBT after happy hour
on H street

fistpumping June wind
between Lincoln & Georgetown—
found the trail at last

Sometimes riding in the city can make you feel like you’re the star of your own action movie! Submit a bicycle haiku (baiku) that details your exciting summer adventures. The poem with the most votes will get a $25 gift card! Be DC’s next bike poet laureate!

Dissertation for the Emphatically Challenged

virulent-tuber:

At the Maoist Institute of Greenland, italics 
stand upright but tip over effortlessly. In the
break room scroungers wag summer tongues
at starving artists stranded in south Georgia.
Twelve eggshells laid dollars on the bed.
A banquet procured a pittance of loaves
to know what it’s like to be stepped on.
It wept inconsolably.
Can I get a show of hands from those thinking
the world could use a giant sippy cup?
The stars descend from the heavens
and drizzle themselves in mustard. Gravy’s
far too boss. Helen from Dover writes
“my tube socks are climbing up my limbs”
but I fear she has fashioned a switch.
Let’s refine disinterest to agnostic levels;
when their khaki teeth silken we go to war.
I’ll wear a handshaking face.
For the past seven years I’ve looked at him
saying ‘hello’ at a quarter past ten and
I am sick to death of it.
Incredibly, the last line wrote itself!
300 square feet will fit twenty sociopaths,
give or take a micro fridge and the friction
knowing you’re a mixed bag of raw sausage.
Confer with the metaverse, oh trailer park monk!
Put on this sleeve, you are filthy. 
Practice tact in the theater of sex.

Disorder in a Closed System

sawarmack:

Full dawn steaming
into new-day birdsong,
earth spinning
shrugging off the days —

Pull up a chair and relax a’while
as our youth careens entropically,
expanding like sea-foam fading
on a long
sand bar.

Thanks for the suggestion of One Man Boat a while ago. George Hitchcock is really great. Is the Zapruder/Mirov/Schomburg project still in the works?

Damn it yes! I have to do it. I know. I will do it. :-)

100,000

Sometime yesterday I hit 100,000 followers. Thank you to everyone who has been a follower, submitter, commenter and correspondent. It has been an awesome two years on Tumblr so far, and hopefully many more to come.

One thing I regret is not having more time to respond to those who ask me to read their work and give advice. I really wish I could do this, but life is busy. The best thing to do is send one poem (urls are great) and a short bio about your interest in poetry and goals with writing. I swear I’ll eventually get through my inbox.

“Immediacy is gained, not by pulling heartstrings, describing events, listing emotions, or relating narrative, but by disrupting the way in which the mind orders reality via language.” —

“Large non-concrete words from a deep cylindrical well.” —Lynne Dreyer
Jun 14, 201317 notes
“Poetry is a quiet kind of subversion that is revolutionary and radical m a slow or tectonic way. Lasting changes in human behavior, thought and consciousness (i.e. large tectonic shifts of the continents), happen slowly, not as one violent shaking earthquake. Palmer realizes that poetry will not stop a war or end oppression or alleviate poverty, but that it is necessary and urgent because it instigates and provokes changes in thought and language in ways that access the human mind via a different route. This route may not be rational or logical (it may be surreal or oneiric), and, that’s all for the better. He asks further, “What does the poem remember, that otherwise the culture hastens to forget?” —Mark Tursi on Michael Palmer

zealots joke over oneiric transfers

greenblood:

no-lid transfer

automatic

heavy on effervescence,
trivialities and cream

where does the sword go?
what is the organ?

there is a soft space capslocked
inclined to swell
whenever the dragon bends a knee

“The distant gods enrobed in bright indifference
whom we confess creatures or abstracts of our spirit,
unadored, absorbed into the incoherence,
leave desiccated names: rabbits sucked by a ferret.”

Orient Express Fever

carousel8:

I lie on a nigiri, squeezing knees and grinding in a corner drew in cross-hatching. They’re eating all the rice, drunk on sake, will they reach the salmon?

On asphalt’s gray I only hear derision words, now I’m a cat, flat under cars and of people I only see their step, and if people fall, with the muzzle straight on the street, and they accidentally turn, I would see, and I would see wide eyes and a bloody nose and I would scream “Hey! Your eyes are wide, your nose is bleeding!” but they would be so afraid to be as low as me and see every detail of the asphalt, they would get up in a moment, ignoring me, me and my staring amber eyes.

<

p>When I’ll feel better again I will gather my rice grains, far away, in China, and I would stay there, to see different steps, which, in the end, are the same. I wonder if they will stone me with laughter and stories of their old lovers, I will not have time to whine, all the rice that I will have to collect. After all, here, I see clouds, not soot, I can lie down on pale grass amid the gloom of fog, smoking my rice and watching the sky, the sky and I are two parallel lines, we’ll never meet, I am always flat on the ground and the sky always flat somewhere. I said to be a cat, well , I lied: I am a straight line, my dimensions are few.

No, I’m an empty parchmen, from the hands of a poet-fisherman in the Sea of ​​Japan, fled with the wind in the paddy fields of China.
