A Celery Farm Poem by Tom Mitchell — and a Contest

DSCN0666
Tom Mitchell was nice enough to pass along a link to his latest poem — about our favorite place, the Celery Farm.

The link is here.

Speaking of Celery Farm poetry, Tom and everyone else has time to enter the third annual Celery Farm poetry event, brought to you by Fyke's Gabriele Schmitt.

Gaby says:

Time to shake off the winter blahs, bring your Muse out of hibernation and get those creative juices flowing. I know you can do it   :  )
 
Many of you rose to the challenge of the haiku and the limerick and it was a pleasure for us (thank you, Carol Flanagan) to share your poetry with the Fyke membership via the newsletter, and (for me) an honor to read them aloud at Members Night next December.

For 2016, please consider submitting a poem in free verse. Your opportunity for artistic expression – unfettered by set meter, or rhyme scheme, or particular structure. Robert Frost once commented that writing free verse was like "playing tennis without a net."

Will you find this form liberating or more challenging? As there are no "rules," I would only "suggest" that it would be great if your poem(s) were about the Celery Farm or Nature in general.

E-mail Gaby at gaby413 (at) aol.com.  And don't forget to read Tom's poem, here.
