Open Space poems - Deadline September 30

[Jeff Aitken]

Thanks to everyone who has sent poems for our OSLIST celebration and contest! The deadline to send a poem is Tuesday, September 30. You may send it to me, or to the list.


Anyone can write a poem
By opening two red doors.

Capture an experience that shook your life;

Describe the red ripe tomato on that summer day, the first you ever grew, then
Eat it! and let its sweet seeds spill down on the page
For us;
Grab a napkin and laugh.


THEME

Share something about open space that shook your life.


CONTEST GUIDELINES

1. You may write as many poems as you wish, in any languages. Original work only please.

2. Send them directly to me

magic.teams at hotmail.com

OR, send it (them) to the OSLIST.

3. If you write a poem in a language other than English, please also provide an English translation, as best you can (we know that poetry does not always translate perfectly.) You may use your own alphabet (if it's a different one) - in any translation, the English translation does not have to follow the form. If you don't use an alphabet, I trust you to confine yourself to a form like this in the original poem.

4. The deadline for entering a poem to the celebration and contest is September 30, 2008 at midnight California time.

5. After September 30, I will compile all of the poems into an email, without the authors' names attached, and post them to the OSLIST with instructions on how anyone on the list can vote for your favorite poem(s.) The author of the poem that receives the most votes will become our new Poet Laureate until the next celebration and contest.

If you have questions please let me know!
