No pressure!
Monica Sharman says
Don’t tamper with poetry
in a pressurized container.
Don’t spew out lines
like aerosol hairspray making
all those strands stiff and sticky.
Read and write into an open glass jar,
no pressure, exposed to the air.
Ignore the label saying “Best Before”
this date or that. The words
don’t expire; you can taste them,
timeless.
Bauke Kamstra says
Please expand to include we few poor freezing poets in Canada. : )
L. L. Barkat says
Aw. 🙂 We would love to do that in the future as funds make it possible to ship internationally! We’ll have plenty of other goodies for you as the day gets closer though, that you can access here at Tweetspeak, to warm up the northern workday.
Marcel Toussaint says
How grand that my daughter sent me how to get to your site. With over 2000 poems written, many published, readings in Paris and Spain, National Gold Medals in Veterans Creative Poetry contest, PBS performance of my “Shadow Under the Bridge”, NPR readings… I enjoy daily publishings of my poems…
Please let me know of the rules to present some of my poem.
Thank you so much,

Add a link here, to some of your NPR readings? We’d love to see.

Oh bummer! I just discovered this and didn’t know the offer closed on the 1st of December. Would love a copy of this. It would be perfect inspiration 🙂
Dave Malone (@dzmalone) says
I would love a poster, too! How can we order one?
L. L. Barkat says
So sorry that they can’t be ordered. We’ll have a downloadable one available soon that you could print.
And, if you check out the post above now, you’ll see we’re offering a free copy of our book ‘Poetry at Work’ and a mug-for-purchase that has the same art and quote as the poster 🙂
