Inside The Hearts' Walls

First, I found the Commuter's website's article about the Words and Pictures reading:
words-and-pictures-fill-south-santiam-hall

Second, the Words and Pictures book is coming along much faster than I had originally expected. In fact there are tentative plans in the works to order a couple of dozen or so books and throw a book-signing party sometime before the end of the term. More on that as it gets worked out.

Third, the Cherry Blossom Picnic (Hanami) is this Friday.  I still don't know what that means. The poetry club has submitted at least a handful of haiku and tanka for the event (not that I know what they're going to be used for). As for the precise time and place, I don't know that either; though word on the street has it that it'll be in the courtyard around lunch-time-ish. (Failing that, check the DAC.)

Fourth, oh yeah, we have a new prompt too! It's not a specific phrase this time, though. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to use the meaning of your name in a poem. What does your name mean? And why should we care? Make us care. Or make us apathetic. Whatever, it's your poem (and your name), write it however you like.
