January 2013
We got off to a good start. A critic of Tim working in the Iyric voice
and Iain’s narration verses dialog. Vash and Albert adding their thoughts.
This was followed by a lively Open Reading.
Happy to see so many faces, both veterans and new and so much original work.
There is nothing like the spirit of creativity to warm the heart.
The Open Reading:
Vash Bandy ( USA )
prose ~ Ain’t no Life being Afraid ~
Just as there wasn’t any point to being scared of the well
at all, even though the older kids liked to tell the younger … of the
girl who fell in and drowned .
prose ~Sticks, Zack and Sunshine~
I only have a copy of the story I told myself on a memory chip…
and that ain’t enough.
Shoichi Miyamura ( Japan )
poems ~ Words that Fell Off, a collection ~
poem ~ Pencil Sharpener ~
The inside of the trash can was all black from the lead grounded
into powder.
poem ~ Traffic Accident ~
It was an accident that the word rushed out and hit the ear.
poem ~ Snow Flake ~
The Chrystal of nature had instantly disappeared.
Miwako Someya ( Japan ) debut
poems ~ Haiku Collection ~
Somethings that agitate me, strong north wind.
Fixed carillon one stands dancing in a rainbow of sound.
A bird’s cry brings a fire of life.
Albert Sussler ( USA )
poem ~ Personality Traits ~
Pleasure: enjoying the stimulation of senses or interchange of
social contact- the hummingbird
Brett Hack ( USA )

They got by with subtle threats and the arts of crisis stoking.
