I'm with Nina -- these are all very compelling and well written, but I want context to make them more meaningful. Are you burying the acorn because it has dropped prematurely, and if no one notices spring can come as scheduled? Or does this have to do with squirrels and hoarding?
Again, really interesting as standalone pieces, but there's so much there that I want...
Let's just go ahead and say it: We Are Not AVerse is an online poetry collective. Now that the pretentious part is over, here's the meat.
We are a handful of young writers - some poets, some prosers - who had the good fortune of convening in one city and sharing each other's company for a few glorious years. We are now dispersed, but hope to use this blog (collective!) to share our work with one another and maintain some part of that communal spirit (of collective responsibility to supporting each other as artists).
Each respective work, obviously, is the property of its writer. So read and enjoy, but be kind and ask if you'd like to use anything you read.
Lastly, if you are visiting, please feel free to comment and participate in our discussions on art, life, fast food, and anything else. Try to keep it constructive, but really: we want your feedback!
Questions, comments, or feedback that doesn't belong on the public web? That's ok! Contact Dinah Finkelstein or Tim DeMay, we are very nice.
thank you Nina!

i love this by itself... reminds me of Spike Hawkins.
ReplyDeleteshort change: i would get rid of that dash and just have two more short sentences: Spring is coming. An acorn drops.
reminds me also of The Life of Towns by carson this way. great haikuesque poem
