Welcome to the April 2013 Edition of Pick-Apart Poetry<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

as we celebrate Universal<\/font> Poetry Month with several poets<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

who have written poetry about poetry. \u00a0
\n <\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman<\/p>\n

and Elizabeth Barrett Browning are but a few<\/p>\n

of the many poets who have written about<\/p>\n

that which we love to write and share —<\/p>\n

Poetry.<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong> <\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n


\n And as we continue to remember all those<\/strong><\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

affected by the tragedies of recent weeks,<\/p>\n

we can’t help but have hope for the future<\/p>\n

as April celebrates the voice each of us has<\/p>\n

and the role of our words and our creativity<\/p>\n

as we write and share our thoughts and words.<\/p>\n

So please choose your 25 words from<\/p>\n

any one or all of the following pieces<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

about poetry . . . .

POETS TO COME
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n

POETS to come! orators, singers, musicians to come!<\/p>\n

Not to-day is to justify me, and answer what I am for;<\/p>\n

But you, a new brood, native, athletic, continental,<\/p>\n

greater than before known,<\/p>\n

Arouse! Arouse–for you must justify me–you must answer.<\/p>\n

I myself but write one or two indicative words for the future,<\/p>\n

I but advance a moment, only to wheel and hurry back in the darkness.<\/p>\n

I am a man who, sauntering along, without fully stopping, turns a<\/p>\n

casual look upon you, and then averts his face,<\/p>\n

Leaving it to you to prove and define it,<\/p>\n

Expecting the main things from you.<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

Sonnet XVII: My Poet, Thou Canst Touch
\n <\/strong>
\n <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n


\n My poet, thou canst touch on all the notes<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

God set between his After and Before,<\/p>\n

And strike up and strike off the general roar<\/p>\n

Of the rushing worlds a melody that floats<\/p>\n

In a serene air purely. Antidotes<\/p>\n

Of medicated music, answering for<\/p>\n

Mankind’s forlornest uses, thou canst pour<\/p>\n

From thence into their ears. God’s will devotes<\/p>\n

Thine to such ends, and mine to wait on thine.<\/p>\n

How, Dearest, wilt thou have me for most use?<\/p>\n

A hope, to sing by gladly? or a fine<\/p>\n

Sad memory, with thy songs to interfuse?<\/p>\n

A shade, in which to sing–of palm or pine?<\/p>\n

A grave, on which to rest from singing? Choose.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The idea of Pick-Apart Poetry is to select 25 words <\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

from the pieces posted and create poetry of our own.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The words chosen may be used more than once <\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

and tenses and forms may be changed.<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

So your poem may end up having <\/strong><\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

even more than 25 words. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The poem you bring back to share doesn’t have to be about poetry.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

We look forward to and welcome all styles and themes.<\/strong><\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Our goal is to simply have fun and be creative.<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

It’s always a joy to be here together each month<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

as we look forward to what we all create and share.<\/strong><\/font><\/em><\/p>\n
