Poets Corner Sharyn Rafieyan 520-331-1092 srafieyan@comcast.net Mon., 10 AM-Noon, WC1, Zoom meetings first Mon. of the month
Club member Esther Berlot’s scathing poem conveys an important lesson: It is not only morally superior, but practically more effective, to praise and encourage before suggesting improvements. Our group has successfully followed those principles for over 20 years, creating a safe and nurturing environment that continues to foster friendships as we aid and encourage one another to better success in our poetic endeavors. Kindness and respect are bywords that we follow, and we’re always glad to welcome new members. Inquisition A poet sits in the docket. / A jutting jaw leans forward / listening to a monsoon / of slashed phrases. Hands flail like birds / pecking at ramblings, / demanding perfection. The incoming verbal storm / rips up roots. / Revised phrases, grammar, spelling and punctuation / leave clauses to dangle in limbo. After storm subsides, / a shattered ego hides in arrogance / to defend her stance. The inquisition has silenced / a poet’s lyrical voice.
