remember the sound of your voice
reading my poem to the class
here something happens
poetry is making something happen
don’t be content with just words
make them leap off the page

dVerse prompt to write about or to a favorite poet. I visited Madison, Minnesota a few weeks ago and went to the little house where Robert Bly wrote and it contains much of his library.
Good advice from him. Sounds like you’ve been a fan for a long time. I’m not familiar with his work but now I need to check him out.
FYI, when I tried to get to your poem through Mr. Linky it was a blank page. I had to go directly to your home page to find it.

I was in Robert Bly’s group of poets at Centrum Writer’s Conference. One of his books on writing poetry is Leaping Poetry. Glad you found the poem. I sometimes post incorrectly.
