Big Time Poetry Melt
Let your freeze out
and slide down the fjord of relief
Jam
Word Jam
judih
Are you Ready? are you?
my lips are like
cut and dried
pomegranets
all puffy
but dried in the sun
raisins
dreams deferred
lost incurred
survivor of sadness
at the edge of a curve
gladness beckons
into the light
at the end
of the tunnel
peace is at hand.

Dear Jammers
So far these jams have been a great success. Everyone has gotten into the spirit of interchange and trading inspiration and images.
The collaborative concept has worked well. Themes have been developed and elaborated. That's how a jam works in music too. Somebody throws out a theme and the other players support and elaborate upon it. It's music that forms itself in mid air and before your very eyes.
I would like to encourage you all to not hesitate to assert a new theme with words or images or pictures or music. This is not just a poetry jam, this is a jam for all the arts that we can manage to cram into our rolling cyber magazine.
In a jam, by it's very definition, you don't know what is going to happen until it happens. But every jam starts out with a drumbeat or a bass line. Here is my suggestion:
Let's start out with the concept of ancestors and descendants. Priors and progeny. What came before and what goes after.
That's the bass line.
I'm not trying to dictate a theme here. Take it anywhere you want. It's just a starting place.
This jam goes on for twenty-four hours. We have some time for evolution.
Come out jammin'!
