Poetry Across The Web
August 5, 2007 by J.C. Hewitt
It’s time for our weekly check of new poetry being written on the web. Poetry isn’t dead. You can still find it. It’s just living in Cleveland working three part-time jobs and taking public transportation. Here are some of the poems I found this week, accompanied by my favorite lines.
Cloudberries
they will
subside slowly to fewer than
you would ever have believed.
Thirsty
My heart is thirsty a lot
The cold water, your sweet smile only for me
Cool Hat
laundered until
it cries for mercy
Network Optimization
Bottom line, too many lumps of data with your tea.
How Does Your Garden
Lights flashing, another ambulance
not for me.
Out of the Blue
I don’t believe in suddenly. Nothing happens
all of the sudden,
Missing Epistle
You want my epistle.
I grasp it firmly in my hand usually
Moon Poem
the surface lit up like a discotheque
and the air hummed
like a refrigerator late at night.
Ode to My Dead PSP
My smelly roommate and his dirty cronies
Directly abused my handheld by Sony
Finally, here is one of my poems, all shiny and self-conscious…
The Curse of Low Colesterol
Flush with his degree
From the University of Nevada – Reno
