Answering the call:
















Rest Home Relief

Six years he was with us

Six months full of stress and pain

Six day from plea to placement

Rest home relief

 

He took his wallet with him

He took his toilet bag

He took his mobility scooter

Rest home relief

 

He left behind an empty space

He left behind his precious books

He left behind his outdoor chair

Rest home relief

 

Still we see him regularly

Still he comes to tea

Still he recognises us

Rest home relief





Regards

Anne

Subject: Re: [OSList] Poet Laureate?

Harold:
Thank you for reawakening me from my poetic slumber.  
Seems that with the move and everything we are in need of some poetry to spice 
the place up a little.  And when I think of Open Space I think of movement.  
It's the fastest way I know to put people to work.


So here are the terms of the 2011 biannual, or thereabouts, OSLIST Poetry 
Contest:
Write a poem about movement, about the shift from one space to another.  
Incorporate in your poem a reference to things left behind, and a reference to 
new things discovered.    


Those are the terms.  Submit your poems to the list within this thread over the 
next two weeks.  The contest will close on April 22 at midnight UTC (Greenwich 
Meant Time).
Ready?  Go!

    While patching up references to the old OSList on the
    openspaceworld.org, I noticed the position of OSList Poet Laureate.

    A quick search of the OSList archives seems to say that our last
    Poet Laureate was Chris Corrigan in June. Since this is a biannual
    contest - I wonder if we're overdue? What say you, Chris?
