Today’s #poetryprompt:
Let chance rule your #poem. Whatever that means to you. Roll a dice, pull a tarot card, open a book and select a random word or sentence. Life is full of happenstance and randomness. Let’s make it work for us.

Libraries are more than book lenders. Libraries help folks fill out taxes, fill out passport forms, access 3D printers, record in a (free) music studio, gather genealogy info, take various (again, free) classes, help with resumes, video editing equipment, large size PRINTING, ++++

I'M OUT OF ROOM!
Okay but why? I haven't had a reason to step foot in a library for more than two decades. When I was younger I spent hundreds of hours in libraries but what does it offer now beyond social interaction and access to computers that I can't get on the WWW? We need librarians but do we need libraries?

I’ve been exchanging tanka poems with my friend Marina. Recently, she sent me a passage from Glissant’s Poetics of Relation—prompting me to resume our correspondence. As Frank O’Hara once said, “the poem is at last between two persons instead of two pages.”

Poetry as Relation (Tankas for Marina)
Dear Friends, For a while now I’ve been exchanging occasional tanka poems with my friend Marina. To be honest, I’ve been a poor correspondent and there’s been a long gap. Recently, Marina sent me this...

4🌌4 Poetics
If this 0, pictured below, is the portal to the universe (currently known as Polaris)
then that makes our earth the flower filled garden
& the universe the hive
& these 2, 4 legged bees
are the pollen laden go betweens
The boarder crossers
The poets
Traversing from flower to cave

If 404 represents the ancient starless true north
then the quincunx would be the current Polaris configuration
Somewhere in my travels
Ive come across a quincunx poetics
which i can no longer find
