For today’s suggested theme, I want you to think about a foreign land. It could be a place you’ve visited or want to visit, or it could be a place that’s not real. Create a scene or story, and set a poetic stage. See where it takes you.

You could post it here, I suppose.

Well, only the Admin can put up actual posts, if that’s what you mean. Readers can post comments. Most of the poems posted here have been in the comments. Group members who write something based on one of the suggested themes usually just bring the poem to the meeting to share with everyone. Does that make sense?

There is no place closer or further away than one imagined.
Goodbye
Yes, it’s hard to say
Goodbye
I could stay
And let your fire warm my shell
But the heat of a thousand suns
Couldn’t reach this chill
For it’s my spirit that shivers
And it’s the winter in my mind
That sets my being in motion
To a place not even dreamed
Where the heart and soul are warm
And the days are many lifetimes
Not just numbers and names
It’s like the wind
If its not here
It’s somewhere
And where has become an obsession
Goodbye

Is this theme (foreign land) for Thursday or tomorrow, April 15? I had missed a session having been in Florida, so maybe didn’t get the date correct?
Thanks,
Lynn Davis

The themes are suggestions for anytime you want a topic. You could use that as a prompt for tomorrow’s meeting, or one in the future, or completely ignore it. It’s just a suggestion. I try to post a few on Thursdays throughout the month.
