Entitlements, we’re all
entitled to something
...Members of a workshop, or participants in a Write Saturday or other wVw writing event. Writers publish work, both publicly and for members only.
Everything together
pulls me towards you
while we are pulled apart
like a medieval torture
Our end is soon
You say
it will be alright
I say
we are a pair of candles
burning bright
We leave no residue
We are the residue
of a thousand candles
burned
above a thousand anchors
Thought I might start out with a little ditty I penned in the only poetry workshop I've ever taken, which was with the great Patricia Spears Jones at Poets House in 2010. If you haven't been to Poets House, and you find yourself in NYC, rush right over there. It is a most marvelous library!
This poem is about a seduction that's not very subliminal.
Selling it.
