Tally-ho! Tally-Ho!!!
Yes I will! Yes I do
catch what's thrown
in the air!
Poetry! Set it free!
Hide and seek...
...you and me!
Hints of laughter
or despair...
Hums of twilight,
tracks and flair...
Hearts and tongues
and brains and lungs
- now let it out!
Let body's beat
sing indiscrete!
Come soulish tone!
Or foolish tone!
A playful plea
for dishful meal:
A smorgasbord
around our globe!
Imagine that!
Expand our now!
And brew your stew
of mads and glads,
of wit and fun,
and all that
in-between...
your proud and humble new Poet Laureate Agneta

An open space?
I hesitate
A call somewhere?
I hesitate
An open door?
I hesitate
And people too?!
I hesitate!
Supposed to speak?
I hesitate!!
Tell what I need...
I hesitate...
Tell what I want?
I hesitate!
And they all hear...
I doubt they do!
They will not care!
I´m sure, I´m sure...
And... there they come!
Oh my! They do!
And now we talk!
We do! We do!!!
...they listen too...
...and so do I...
...and what will come...?
Oh my! Oh my!!!

History of the OSLIST Restricted Form Poetry Contest
"For all those who might be curious, the OSLIST Biannual Restricted
Form Poetry Contest started in the spring of 2000 when I issued the
challenge to the list. [The late great] Ralph Copleman actually
began the whole thing with a contest in the fall of 1999 (which I
won) and so he is the "Poetry King" for all time. I just claimed the
"Poet Laureate" title in an effort to have some fun. It was
something of a one martini idea, and I was out of gin at the time..."
'Restricted form' means some described form or boundary for the poem
- as in this recent Poetry Contest where you were invited to create
poems about or inspired by Open Space and breathing, trusting the
unknown, and emergence.
