Front Page Picks
kiting By kevin urenda.
I love the first two lines of this, and the whole piece seems very true to life.
from "Inversions" p.132 By Iain M Banks.
Submitted by Roy B Law 100144.2147@compuserve.com. The question of "one true love?" came up on the Blender Board this month, and this quote is an excellent counter-argument, in my opinion.
from depraved to CRAVED By Misti V. Rainwater.
A lengthy rant by MVR, who requests "Brian, don't read this one. I implore you!"
petty thief By The Guppy.
Lyrical, playful, wonderful. (An article in the October 4th New Yorker mentioned the art of the blurb- three is the key. How did I do?)
treading By The Guppy kingsaladmonkey@hotmail.com.
Another by The Guppy - "you don't dig the calamari".
Strange Bird By Toklas blee@direct.ca.
One Word By Toklas blee@direct.ca.
Toklas submitted some very beautiful poems this month. They seem ancient and new at the same time.
longing By gnomey dragonfleyes@msn.com.
I love the username- which seems strangely appropriate for the content of this work.
Anonymous Japanese Unknown - 10th Century
Submitted by Madison. Slice of life- seems as if it could be from this century.
remembering the lost soulmate .... By Rennie Lorca - Lorca@bigfoot.com.
Rennie Lorca, our local master of short, evocative verse.
More Than I Deserve By Shadygirl fading_shade@hotmail.com.
Sometimes life feels better than I had any right to expect, and this work reflects that bias of mine.
I love you By kevin urenda.
Written for a cousin getting married, a nice thought on those most famous three words.
Sexual Passivity in the Human Female By d. Nada.
Almost tribal.
the Kindred Spirit of a would be Poet By heart Song.
A poem invoking the Blender community itself.
Heart on Sleeve Corner
All the remaining heartsongs sent to the Blender last month.
