Inside The Hearts' Walls

This is just a quick reminder of the PoetryWall at the LBCC Library. Our library is sponsoring the space (next to the Library Reading Room) and the materials (whiteboards and pens) and our Poetry Club is providing themes and recording and archiving your submissions.  What we need is YOU and your "gaiety of language."  Consider it poetry improv and bring your classes.  Or drop by yourself.  It's fun!!!  This week's theme: Curiosity....

Here's a little gem from e.e. cummings:

since feeling is first

who pays any attention 

to the syntax of things

will never wholly kiss you;

while Spring is in the world

my blood approve,

and kisses are a better fate

than wisdom

lady i swear by all flowers.  Don't cry

-- the best gesture of my brain is less than

your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for each other: then

laugh, leaning back in my arms

for life's not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis
