This month’s theme is Turn & Turn Again.
So, get your favorite steep (or brew) and join us in writing a poem based on Maggie Smith’s I Think of You, Eréndira—which ran recently at Every Day Poems. The poem begins…

The Silent Fishes
In the mornings,
with the easy doves,
and the small red arc
of the sun,
the steam from a cup,
slows itself,
or so it seems,
to my breathing,
as the pond surrenders
its gray vapor in scant whorls.
Even the doves pace their cooing,
to my sleepy space, air, rock and fescue.
This is my favorite coffee,
warm against my hands,
while I savor this solitude,
no words in mind but clouds,
moving like the silent fishes
stirring waters I cannot see.
