I once again had the honor of > being this season’s Poet Laureate, and you can find my ‘found poetry’ in the > archives. Inspired by the late great Laurel Doersam, I took excerpts from > juicy conversations we had here on the list during my Poet Laureate season, > pulled the sentences apart, sat with them, and floated them back together in > ways that made meaning and showed patterns to me. And then I offered them > back to you as gifts of your own collective voice, during my poetic reign. > > An OSLIST Poet Laureate does not have to be a poet. You are simply invited to > have fun with words. For about six months, until you host the next contest > (and some poets ask me to do it on their behalf, for which I am honored). > ‘Restricted form’ means you are inviting people to work within a constraint, > a certain shape, pattern or theme. > So here…we… go. > > ___ > > For the Spring 2015 OSLIST Restricted Form Poetry Contest, I invite you to do > the following. In honor of Harrison loving me when I go on and then saying, > in quite a bit about doing less, in a few words. I invite you to write a > haiku about how less is sometimes more, when Open Space is used. > A haiku is 3 lines. First line = 5 syllables, second line = 7 syllables, > third line = 5 syllables. > > Send me your haiku *directly* - not on the list - to > lisah...@openingspace.net. > Three lines per poem. > About how less is sometimes more, when Open Space is used. > > I will collect them, then show them back to you so collectively we can select > one, therefore selecting our next Poet Laureate. > Who will hold space for poetry on the OSLIST, for about the next 6 months. > > Deadline: Midnight wherever you are in the world, Thursday May 7. > > Have fun, > > Lisa Heft > Spring 2006 and Spring 2015 Poet Laureate, OSLIST > also known as Access Queen > and a few other things > > > >
