Poet's Corner 2008 - A Home for New Mexico Poets
Note to Bloggers: This is a multi-page Journal! Use the page navigation bar located on the right below the last post on this page to view more pages.
My name is Gair Linhart. I'm a musician, artist and writer who lives in the old village of La Joya, New Mexico. It is my privilege to be the moderator of this forum.
Thanks to all of our New Mexico and world wide poets for their fabulous contributions in 2007. My dream is to see a compilation published one day, but for now, our 2007 blog is off to the archives. To read what was posted in 2006, click here. To read the 2007 contributions from our poet-members, click here. Once again, we are trying to deemphasize the politics and really raunchy stuff, since we have kids visiting and contributing.

I just served as judge for the Socorro Schools Poetry Contest. We had a winner from every school, and a mob came to the Award Ceremony, even fathers! Poetry lives!

Here's another Honorable Mention:
Bags
What's on the fence?--balloons or rags?
No, they're plastic grocery bags.
The dogs once stalked a whitish lump
until it didn't run or jump.
Everything that looks like that
is not always a pussycat.
I've heard about the tin can trees;
these bags stir with the slightest breeze,
perhaps they capture spirits too
fluttering yellow, white, and blue.
Bags fill the irrigation ditch
along with crates and buckets, which
you'd think someone would want to claim
but recycling is not the game.
I missed the day the workmen came
to burn the tumbleweeds and blame
the householders who made the mess;
They don't recycle junk I guess.
If we'd reuse a plastic sack,
our streets and fields would soon be back
to pristine cleanliness and beauty.
Too bad we don't see it as duty.
