Your Inspired
Poetry
lifts my heart
And gives it wings
To soar
The heaven of
Unexplainable joy
And understanding
Rooted in nowness
A bow to poet of The Open space year
Friendship rocks

Wow...thank you all for the vote of confidence as your poet
laureate. I think it has been ten years since Ralph Copelman
launched the first contest (which I won). Since then it has been
cool to see the resiliency of the position. I believe we are the
only listerv with a Poet Laureate, and that is excellent!
For thos of you unfamiliar with the concept, here is an article:

Look forward to more poetic activities over the course of the next
six months.

Hi all:
I have the great pleasure to announce that the new Poet Laureate is
Chris
Corrigan with the following winning poem:
What far off thought
can come to rest in the company of friends?
What rooted promise
can take flight at the mere invocation of curiosity?
This circle describes,
an energetic inscription
a container that is itself a call,
that draws forth the needed salve.
There is the sweet dance of the heart
driven by the lightness of inspired vision setting its intention
And there is the solitary stationary act stuck in the muddy earth
that seeks
its ascendance.
This simple shape holds all the energy that is needed for dreams to
soar and
brilliance to ground.
Lifted and held.
Like a hawk on a thermal
Like a child gazing at the moon.
Chris Corrigan
Congratulations, Chris!
Best regards
Esther Ewing
