Fog by Carl Sandburg

The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

lovely editors
they write with hearts
painting the Arizona sky pink


tough acientists
some call them Shaanxi ren
thanks to Wang Zhaozhao, Jing Lei, Li Xiaojuan, Ma Chaoyang, Pan dongxiu

wild nature
a walk near a preserved pond is dreamy
Dou min, Rao Tao, Jiang Yan, Jiang Lieping, yang geng, lu jiansheng, all confident

they write about "An TUSHENG"
they post on "SASHI BIYA"
they reflect "SHUIHU ZHUAN"

how about "HUASHE TIANZU". adding a foot to s snake
how about "YEGONG HAOLONG", mr. ya loves dragon
how about "BAMIAOCHUZHANG", pull the wheat plant to help them grow?

wife of Barack Obama wonders about her status of residence,
she whitens her skin and bath herself clean
tossing her leafless firearm to bamboo Forrest to meet Monk George Romtved,

a scream from Laura Watson is stirring!

not knowing you
but try to carry the flu

not fending you
but try to chase after

not agree with you
but try to say things better

not knowing who you are
but try to encourage you as who you have become

~Dropbox~

So many devices, all in their shells
Meanwhile memories trapped in ourselves
Need something here that’s trapped over there
It’s enough to make anyone pull out their hair
A layer’s what we need, to stitch them together
So data can flock like birds of a feather
Free up our minds by quelling the fear
That all of our moments could just disappear
Next on the roadmap, Connect All The Things!
So from TVs to tablets our files can swing
There’s one hundred million that already heart it
But Drew says that Dropbox is just getting started.

-by Josh Constine, TechCrunch

Twitter Poem

The poem creates a space.
It hides in a tent in a forest.
Making its own bed it falls asleep in the dark,
wakes up under a lamp or the sun.

Billy Collins, whose new book of poems is “Horoscopes for the Dead.”

earth devotes

break in a wave train
fallout active plume cloud spills
red reactors give
cross characters translated
in kanji could say much more

Claudia Rankine, whose latest book of poems is “Don’t Let Me Be Lonely.”

Teeny tiny poem

Teeny tiny poem/just enuf 2hold/1 xllent big word/Impluvium/open-eyed courtyrd/collectng rain/as all poems do/ skylife, open/birds do:/ tweet

Elizabeth Alexander, whose latest book of poems is “Crave Radiance,” and who wrote and delivered a poem for the inauguration of President Barack Obama.

Low Pay Piecework

The fifth-grade teacher and her followers—
Five classes, twenty-eight in each, all hers:
One-hundred-and-forty different characters.

Robert Pinsky, whose “Selected Poems” will be published next month.

THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "Ways of Rebelling" by Nathalie Handal: poking, pain, proper, hummingbirds, heavy, heard, country, compare, can, survive, sky, storm

  


 

ways of circulation
method of instruction

Nathalie Handai,
Amelia ShenPay

poking pain improperly
hummingbirds flap their wings for Magpies

heard heavy pondering heart
Diet Coke cans offends Diet Pepsi soda pops

to survive the skyrocketing price
Paisley and Emily operate a book shop

to enrich vision A and blues in B
we all write poetry to please Kay Baker, Akiko Yan, Amy Shen, Kyle Torke, Julia Wood, Leah Wilson

pause
silence

a racoon sits next to a mouse
the rooster flies airplanes to escape the wolves

Jerry Brown, Yan Jupeng, Wang Baochuan, Yan Simiei, Yan Qingbo, Yan Pengchuan, Yan Yizhi,
none of them agree to know Barbara Bush, Mary Christ Trump, Boonie Hayden, and Peggy Yern
