Working Title (MSP Poetry Curation)
Hidden from cruel and dangerous eyes
A door to match my key,
Beyond life's dangerous overgrowth
A haven just for me
The Librarian by @girlbeforemirror is probably one of my favorite entries into the most recent poetry dice challenge, simply because she chose the librarian to focus on (I have a special place in my heart for librarians- ask @luthvarian). I like the mix of prose and poetry that the contest called for, but I especially like girlbeforemirrors take on it. She's generally awesome and you should check out all her writing.
Pay attention and surrender to life
Ever so often
In the Splendor and Simplicity of Slowness.
Rain sliding slowly down the window.
Euphoria Phase One by @rensoul17 explores the slow pleasures in life in a series of prose images. I highly recommend her writing, but if you're a poet, you should especially participate in her Poetry dice contests. They're a lot of fun and a great way to kick off your creativity.
But the little upright
Was nothing to the grand
And the lights
And the acoustics of the halls
And my small fingers
Do Over by @bennettitalia is such a strong piece. I love it's lilting rhythm that builds through the poem, just as a song does, to the crescendo of an ending.
banksia grow tall
erupt above the garden
yellow fireworks
Fluffy Coma Head by @prydefoltz is a fun little series of haiku. I love how her haiku always play with meaning, and feel relevant- they are never just a standard image. She also includes her own photos and a little bit of nature trivia. These felt especially perfect for the day after Independence Day.
Flying, flying into the winds driven by the dark screaming hounds
Catching the edge of the silver lining, pulling to unwind the clouds
Into the Fray by @tarazkp is such a strong piece that plays with allusion, internal rhyme, and subverting cliches. I love the theme of overcoming obstacles and the associated images they use.

Hi @sunravelme! I'm glad you're still here and still curating <3 Whatever happened to the Isle? Has it disappeared? I haven't seen Jess inna bit... I'll have to go over to Discord and see what's happening.
Thank you so much for featuring my work, and for your eloquent commentary. It made me see things about the poem I hadn't seen before, which is a gift <3
