August is Rain month here at Tweetspeak Poetry. So you’ll be treated to posts featuring Rain or Water, from some wonderful fiction and non-fiction writers, as well as poetry writing projects, like our Rain/Water Book Spine Poetry Project.
And, of course, we’d love to remind you to quench your writer’s thirst with a copy of our award-winning title Rumors of Water: Thoughts on Creativity & Writing. Twice named a Best Book of 2011!

The monster loves his labyrinth
off-season in the promised land.

Voices,
dark under Kiganda stars,
tell me
rumors of water
and the moon makes it own plea.
