The poem below combines lines from three separate 3:15 experiment poems written August 15, 2008 by Gwendolyn Alley, Tod McCoy and myself. The 3:15 Experiment itself is a work of collective consciousness. We used these poems as part of our process of creating a collaborative poem to submit to an on-line journal; this is a draft of the stanza I produced. We're still working on the final poem and will let you know when it appears.
Thunder and lightning
arriving back from the dead
thawing a bottle of wine
with a drum roll please
my dream angel solid and
drowned for safe
when the light flashes
fiercely beautiful down the hallway
Let’s not fool ourselves
inside a shoe that doesn’t fit
shed some clothes
roam the house
of my youth more human than
closing windows and
slowly warming coal
I ALSO have a Monday Poetry Post on my NEW BLOG this week.
the TRAIN leaves every Monday.

Cool collaborative effort. Many interesting images come to mind from this poem.
As for your blog move, I'm smiling @ "frolicking is so underrated." Hope you don't have too many boxes to unpack! (I guess I came from the new blog to this one via the P.Train.)
