Thank you each for your interest. Following is Community Poem #3 composed of lines offered by some of the guest at last Friday's Reading featuring the Free-Range Poets. It was another fine evening of words from a few of the many Bloomington writers crafting poems. For Peggy and I, it was the final program for our 2010 - 2011 HART Rock Poetry and Open-mic year.
We will return with the 2011 - 2012 HART Rock Poetry season on September 23rd. We look forward to sharing Poets with you and to hearing your works during the open-mic. We hope some of the poets participating in this years IU Writers Conference and Writing program will share some of their works with us in open-mic.
There may be a summer poetry offering in July and August, if so, we will let you know.
Two Things - some of you know that I have been revising my Beautiful Biscuits Book for a very long time and it is slowly coming together. I would love to have a few more biscuit poems and memories about home made biscuits from scratch. So, if you want to have something considered, send it to me before the end of July.
Green Dove Images and Words Galleries of Peace welcomes your submissions for consideration to the Peace Poets and Peace Arts galleries - http://www.greendove.net/imagesandwords.htm.
Where ever you are, blessings of words.

Community Poem #3
June 24, 2011
What circumscribes my efforts reach and range
in the leafing out of the solstice anything, everything is possible
When we choose to awake within this varied dream
We will once again venture into the unknown territory
Wishing to recapture the fleeting wonder
Hoping it would refuel – restart - a zest for life!
A gift free for asking
not what your country can do
can your country do?
A gavotte? A tango? A slow boat to Brooklyn?
A Muse, A Dance, a frolic in the woodlands.
No more thoughts of war, only love on my mind
For the trees, for the flowers, for the children, for you
The one can be the two can be the three can be the few
The few are favored by the many
and we give those stars names, forgetting they may already have one
more fitting than human sounds may tell. O’ glittering love
that has been sought here, there, and everywhere
