The Hard Work of Poetry
Poets are constantly crippled, creatively. It's the way it works. You write a line and, just now, right now, it seems like it's the best line in the world to date. It's a shiny, beautiful line, a thought, an image so remarkably profound that you are in awe of yourself, or (if you are a seasoned poet) in awe of that angelic being which sits on high in your mind and occasionally drops little scraps of poetic manna into your head. Now, you only need to write a poem around it.
And fail.
Because the poem takes over, sprouts a million legs and scurries in directions you had no real intention of it going – and now the Wondrous Line of Glory and Poetic Win doesn't fit. You have to either change it or take it out and save it for another poem. Or make it a haiku-like short poem on its own, so all those other words don't assault it again. If you're an experienced poet, you'll probably just store it in a .txt file or on a post-it note somewhere and lament it until you're old and nothing matte

Literature
Shadowplay
Shadowplay
You and I are but
Shadows
In an artificially lit room.
When someone flips the
Switch,
Whether or not they
Know
Of our fragile state,
We will cease to exist.
There are no windows
Or skylights
Here.
No sunlight
To sustain us
During the day,
Nor moonlight
To sustain us
At night.
No,
Our fates are undeniably
Bound
To that horrible little
Switch
On the wall
And that wicked little
Bulb
On the ceiling.
I wish that I could
Gain
A physical body,
For just a brief moment,
And flip the switch
Myself.
I wish that I
Could take control of my
Fate,
Just once,
Even if it is
At the end.
I am so very
Tired
Of waiting for
Chance
To finish with us.
It is time to fight back.

So it seems that we are need of a logo for this group. I'm open to all suggestions right now. Anyone got any interesting ideas?

Sure, but you know this group really isn't much of an attention grabber. Quite honestly, the previous admin just kinda threw this group into our laps and wandered off. I'm just trying to figure out how to opt out of groups.
