Poets United Curation - The Daily Dose of Poetry #120
Contribution-driven curation - You are the Community
You can submit poetry for the next dose, or lend us a hand in deciding which poems get featured. Please help us write the next dose. How would you go about doing that, you ask? It all happens in our Discord Server - Head straight over to the latest notice about the Daily Dose, posted in the channels named: contrib-draftroom and draftroom. It will contain a link to a list of the candidate poems for the next dose. You have 10 points to distribute to 3 of the poems of your choice. It's that simple. One of the Restless Souls will usually do the rest. Our publications are posted to Facebook, Wordpress, Twitter and other poetry-related sites.
From a total of 13 poems recently-shared in our server, these were selected for the top 3 spots by a panel of our curators.
| 3rd Spot | Tale of the Goat by @heretickitten |
|---|
Written in free verse, this poem contains stark images which develop the metaphor of the wild, the flock and the shepherd. Raising questions about trust, freedom, independence and the tensions we experience within society.
the goat is not a sheep.
the goat is not a wolf.
the goat is not asleep.
the goat is on the hill.
| 2nd Spot | Carcass by @blockurator |
|---|
From the poetry collection Rumfeld's Sandbox published by Garden Gnome Publications (December 12, 2013), available for purchase on Amazon.
[This] poem is another post-Iraq War verse. It's free verse with a very dark theme, but, like almost all of my poems, it contains a message worth thinking about.
| 1st Spot | Coloring Contest by @acousticsteveo |
|---|
Another very interesting poem by Stephen. Written in his raw, freeverse style, it is evocative, and oftentimes shocking. Reminiscent of American impressionism, it is sublime, transcendent. It's a remarkebly ironic piece of scribbled verse, yet every bit as well-deserving of our appreciation and praise. We at poetsunited hope we have done our part.
I figure as long as I don't lie to myself,
And I continue having fun,
Scribbling's not a big deal.
