Describe

In The ransom of red chief 0.Henry talks about a town called Summit.

It contained inhabitants of as undeleterious and self-satisfied a class ofpeasantry as ever clustered around a Maypole.

Describe humorously by changing the subject to an object reflecting the culture of the subject.

Welterweight
500 acres and no place to hide

When things go viral

World of viruses
The loom
Naica caves. Heard of Belum caves just now.

The discovery of virus by Beijernick is a goose chase story.

How do viruses move DNA between species and generate new genetic material?

The author's Emeral wasp works has been quoted in another book sex on six legs, unfortunately the subject of viruses lacks that charm.

Brave mom

When you drive, you dont get to peek much at others sharing the road. But in the passenger seat you are a witness to all kinds of things. I saw a mom driving a happy kid. The kid was having an icecream in the car.

A good poetry book site

Alberto Alvaro Rios

In A man then suddenly stops moving, is not afraid to make a leap right in the first para, from a literal act of chewing a fruit to a long term act of mulling.

In A small motor, why does the poet say that there is an animal in him and that animal has hunger, why does he distance the desire by two levels? Also in the previous line it is a mechanical motor and then it becomes animalistic and then human.

A necklace of shells coiled her throat in Lynda Hull's poem

Corey Marks Interview

Belle Waring and a joint blog

On Fever, Mood and crows on pg 43 of Dark Blonde. In Crow Planet, crows have lifted another writer from depression.

Rebecca Seiferle

Alberto Alvaro Rios on poets.org, on ASU. In 'What abides' poem he draws on the 'walk' and extends it pliantly. In 'Aunt Matilde's story of the big Day', he starts writing about a remmebered day trying to be remembered on a day when nothing else is to be remembered and then extends it to years. In 'My Chili', Chili is so many things at once. Reading his poetry can give you many ideas on how to write.
An incomplete life

A person who knows her work to be done. But what if the available time does not let her finish the job along with others that need to be done.

A way to balance will and responsibility.

Utility & futility

When we think about a thing, if we were to write of it, we first think what it does.

A good ad

At the mail box, was a sheet with things on sale, probably by a person moving. It was in a row column format of pictures of inline roller skates, gas cooker, blinds, printer, vacuum cleaner and others, mentioning their condition and price. When I went in the evening, I think it wasn’t there.

Former poet

While reading Indiana Review Volume 18, Number 1 (Spirituality & American writing), I came across Neal Bower’s ‘Faith at the turn of the century’. I didn’t get the poem but was interested in reading other poems of his. A look at his profile revealed that he calls himself a former poet.
