HELP US WRITE A COMMUNITY POEM!!!!!MyStoryLives wants to try something a little different today. We want to create a community poem, a kind of word collage. To do that we need your help. We are asking you to send us a few words in response to this beautiful painting, called "Lyric Escape," by painter and poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, who is perhaps the most influential Beat movement poet. Ferlinghetti also started the very famous City Lights bookstore in San Francisco, a mecca for writers and artists.
So. All we need you to do is click on the COMMENT button below, and send us some words. Impressions. We will then assemble them into a poem. How many words do we want? No less than three. No more than 20 (today is July 20th after all.)
Please write today. We would LOVE to hear from you. All of you! We want this to be a community writing space, a place to share writing, a place for dialogue and exchange. So let this be our first community poem.

My hair's on fire
And the ocean is too.
I hope for rain but
carry water.
What I meant to say was ...
Expect a mix of sun and clouds today, with skies clearing later, and a fifty-two percent chance of inutterable exultation.
of "sands in the hourglass" cliche
as genuine statements become "drops in the desert"
16 milimeter glory becomes our flatline
