handful of stones: Perseid meteor conjunction



last month, i took part in the Folded Word daily writing base camp. on day 12, i wrote a tiny meteor poem. the poem now found a place in a handful of stones, an online-journal that celebrates the extraordinary in the ordinary:

Perseid meteor conjunction

enjoy ~~ and while there, browse 7 stones down, and visit "Catch & Release" by Karyn Eisler, the 2 of us recently had 3 asemic images up in foffof, which somehow fit both poems with their encoded title: oenisplx igrnimeeg spnimirt (the title is based on the words: explosion / emerging / imprints [of a dried out world])
.

This is lovely, Dorothee. So much packed into the few lines. Like the denisty of stones.

I am tempted to go now and collect a handful. Join stones.

Thanks for the feedback!

Jessie, you already wrote a small poem that is awesome: "Little Red". i returned to it this week. so good. (it's up in the Daily author talk, first text in red: http://dailyspress.blogspot.com/2009/08/author-talk-jessie-carty-mel-bosworth.html )

and Daniela, i look forward to your stones. yes, the density of stones.
