A community for discussion and sharing of poetry.

I'll populate this sidebar with more pizzazz, but for now let’s just get the lights on in here.

Poetry memes?

Bett Williams, 2020

They're coming over
All the people from all the directions
The ones who keep their altars right
The ones who keep it clean
Who know how to do ceremony in a closed-up house
This is a closed-up house
All the doors in all the four directions
They're closed up tight
We do it this way
Keep our altars clean
All the relatives are coming over
Bringing chicken
All the ones on your side
Are filling up the house
For ceremony
That's how we party
In ceremony
Ceremony in a closed-up house
