HOME Friday, April 29, 2005 Some Good Contemporary Poetry There are some great poetry being written today. Below, I have compiled a sampling of some of today’s finest poems from my circle of poets. Please stop on by to read and enjoy: "Summer and Winter" by Rex Winn "Soot" by Pris Campbell "Chats With Eleanor" by Pris Campbell "The Griot of Guantanamo Bay," by Christopher T. George "Attempting a Leather Jacket Poem For Pris," by Rae Pater Note: I did post the link to a wonderful poem by Didi Menendez titled "Your Name."  She has removed the post from her site so I removed the link from my post.  So if you attempted to read it and received an error, I apologize.   This is not an exclusive list. There are other poets I tried tracking down a poem to include but alas came away empty today.  I'll keep searching and will post some tomorrow. I might have to make this a weekly post. 7:50:06 PM   | COMMENT [] | TRACKBACK [] What Classic Movie Are You?
