Take a Poem, Leave a Poem

Rusty Pennies

I've been inspired by the "take a penny, leave a penny" jar at the local deli.

Poems in the jar today:


Please take at least one, and please leave a story or a poem in it's place in the comments section.

Happy reading! Andrea

    I took "Crush," and I'm leaving "One Sparrow in a Flock of Sparrows from Here On" by Sheila Squillante in its place: http://typomag.com/issue05/squillante.html.
    Enjoy!

    I took "Wondrous" (it made me tear up) and am leaving Jim Moore's "A Summer Afternoon, Venice" http://minnesota.publicradio.org/collections/special/columns/state-of-the-arts/archive/2010/03/minnesota-poetry-jim-moores-a-summer-afternoon-venice.shtml

    What an awesome idea.

    I took Saeed Jones' poem and I'm leaving Laura Kasischke's poem Kitchen Song.

    "The Writer" by Richard Wilbur. Perfect for orienting me again to my students this time of year. :) Great idea!

    What a wonderful way to become inspired! I believe I will take "Crush" and I will leave "Theories of Time and Space" by Natasha Tretheway

    I am DYING over "Crush". Poetry gets to me so deeply in such a short time, it's like nothing else. Just what I needed on a multi hour bus ride
