After John Donne's "To His Mistress Going to Bed"

by Lisa Russ Spaar

What might she send - a wet sleeve,
or platter of brine-latticed bluefish

dusky with capers, lemons, wine;
a briar for your thumb, a mouth,

lunatic, to suck the blood:
a signal that one too often

inside & now beside herself with thoughts
of you wonders how she might woo

and through dew-whetted keyhole
pursue & sing & win? She is marvelous

with waiting. Come. Hunt here.
Relieve with hands and tongue her heavy hour

rejected
Current mood:

blah
Category: School, College, Greek

So, I got a rejection letter from the Whitworth (published yearly) JournalScript. It says that they "regret" to inform me that I will not be appearing in this year's issue but that they hope I will resubmit next year. Part of me doesn't really care because this is a peer reviewed journal and most of my peers (if you can call the 19-21 year old crowd that) don't get my poetry in class, so why would they when they are reviewing it for publication? But then part of me is like, if I can't even get published at my own school...how big of a loser am I?

Why Irv’s is cool...
Category: Parties and Nightlife

Irv’s is the other Spokane Gay bar and I recently became their friend on MySpace. This is the first bulletin they sent me:

$5 BURRITOS, $3 CORONAS, POLE DANCING, 5 for $5 JELLO Shots

’nuff said.

Clang (The poem I submitted for the 4th Workshop in EL 345)
Current mood:

productive
Category: Writing and Poetry

Clang

Oh Noise,

could that be you?

I heard you around the corner

cooing in the gloves

hanging there by one frayed

red string.

I’m sorry,

you’ve been deserted

I realize you are the popular pin-up these days.

But Silence is being neglected, I heard

the bareness in her cries-

silent and steady

throbbing sobs

that call to me in the moment

between sleep and standing.

Let her rise

to this occasion, let her trick

someone this time.

Let Silence be a force of presence.

Poet-ness
Current mood:Writer-like
Category: Writing and Poetry

Decline

I remove

and I bleed

for what I cannot say;

my words are too practical.

I try to stop

these sounds that arise

from the back of my throat

but all I can do

is grin.

It seems to work

until I find

the redwoods densely packed in my mind

and I wander, musing

waiting for ticks and sighs.

Lost I will be

until tomorrow

when the sun falls

to this side.

High cheekbones
Category: News and Politics

So, on the Today show today there were two people defending New York Governor Eliot Spitzer's involvment in a prostitution ring.

"Did you see his cheekbones! Those indicate a high level of testosterone."

Man next to her, "And because of these high levels of testosterone, decisions might be harder to make"

This of course is after (a very blonde) Dr. Laura said it is a woman responsibility to keep her man happy and if you cheat and a man retaliates, you totally deserved it. Interesting, n'est-ce pas?
