Here's a poem to start off.</p> <p>The Basket Maker</p> <p>Beside a stream<br /> you find your black ash tree<br /> Ten foot butt<br /> twelve inches girth<br /> Too wide to touch<br /> fingertips<br /> No knots to blemish<br /> a year’s growth</p> <p>You pound<br /> with an ax handle<br /> ten days<br /> eight hours a day</p> <p>The black ash<br /> uncoils<br /> Some rings<br /> plump on winter snow<br /> Some rings<br /> tendrils<br /> joined to last year</p> <p>With a drawknife<br /> you cut away<br /> the bad<br /> Sort splints<br /> by thickness<br /> A coarse earlywood<br /> satin latewood layer<br /> Two textures<br /> rubbed<br /> back and forth<br /> between your palms</p> <p>In the barn<br /> you weave<br /> crisscrossing<br /> Holding a basket<br /> with your thighs<br /> you cross a greenwood rim<br /> to hold your years in place</p> <p>bronxlinda © 20006</p> Mon, 10 Jul 2006 17:30:55 -0500 bronxlinda comment 5617 at http://www.blogher.com http://www.blogher.com/node/3640#comment-3591 <p>I would love to see a creative writing / poetry section. It would be nice to read others poems / shorts. I would contribute to the section if it were created. It's a great idea luckywhitegirl!</p> <p>Cheers!</p> <p>Emotion Creator<br /> <a>http://jessicadoyle.ca</a></p> Mon, 08 May 2006 05:35:31 -0500 Vanesica comment 3591 at http://www.blogher.com http://www.blogher.com/node/3640#comment-2297 <p>I'd be willing do donate my lines on here. I'm a really crappy poet though. Probably something that could be used in kids books. Better yet, I'm more like a Shel Silverstein poet. Poet on acid.</p> Wed, 22 Mar 2006 17:43:46 -0600 christineeula comment 2297 at http://www.blogher.com http://www.blogher.com/node/3640 <p>What about a creative writing/poetry section?</p> http://www.blogher.com/node/3640#comments Using this site Tue, 21 Mar 2006 18:54:02 -0600 luckywhitegirl 3640 at http://www.blogher.com
