Greetings From the Administration
Peace Poets,
Another memorable month has come and gone, and our membership grows stronger by the day! We've had amazing debates in Socrates Circle, fascinating information shared Under The Shade Tree, and as always, the level of talent amongst our family is second to none in every category!
There are powerful Spoken Word pieces in (((See The Sound))) from our very own Mary Jane, Write From The Spirit, and Dreamcatcher!. Check it out, and show them some love on the vocals...you'll be blown away!
Also don't forget to go the Writers' Block for a little inspiration! Try a limerick, or a sonnet just to step outside the box a little bit...you might be surprised by what you create!
Congrats to our newly inducted Griots: Dasuntoucha, Mary Jane Burns, and Poeticrebellion! The three of you are blessed with true artistic visions, thank you for sharing your thoughts with all of us in the Oasis.
Our Soldier is back from Iraq!!!! Welcome Home Swan, we're proud of you Sis! We've been counting those days down with you.

Thank you all for taking this journey with us. The vibe here is one of love, respect, and mutual appreciation. We are truly a poetic family, one that will grow stronger and bigger as we continue to support each other in our endeavors, and build together as artists and poets.
Cheers To The Oasis! Our roaming has ended....and the journey is definitely just beginning!
Peace and Blessings,

[/size][/u][/center]Congratulations Rebel! Your work is phenomenal, and speaks to the heart, as well as the mind!
[/size][/center]Below is Poeticrebellion's favorite original poem, "Spellweaver." Pulled from his pen for our poetic pleasure. Enjoy Fam...
Breathe deeper...
Dream's teacher
made her weaker
when she puffed
his poetic phunk
She's drunk
devouring droplets
of spilled ink
on clean paper
Nebula's narrator
Galactic? No/greater
He shamed her
she let him take her...
3rd eye on a ride
by an unwritten story
scribed in his mind
Divine...
Inside you'll find
nights where stars
fall like raindrops
and illuminate
puddles where
pleasure plays
Where...radiant
rainbows rape skies
and sorrows slide
away on sunrays
burning in the light
In this place
you'll be laced
with sensuous
solace falling
from the wing
beats of the
Great Griffin
You can...
ease with glee
blown about
a breeze of
bountiful benevolence
because your
tears fall into
my hands and
materialize into diamonds
Here you can
hitchhike on a kite
and gladly glide
across grace
in a purple haze
Down crystal
conveyor belts
"juxtaposition junction"
metaphors/similes
and allliteration
are dispelled assonantly
where poetry's delivery
is received cerebrally
or is it ESP?
He daydreamed her
to reach her and
now she's eager
4 more scripture
She's a believer
in the Spell Weaver

Marston's... Scribe of the Month

Trancelations...
[/size][/font][/u]With fast paced vagrance I drift across vast plains of pages, questing for my last sane days since transformations began to shape the land. I'm totally exposed and free in the vast expanse of rolling green holy things. Golden seas of wildflowers behold dreams of mild mannered beings, all that we see is part of three things: love, light and learning. Like a dove's flight burning for peace, we rise above right and yearn to increase the longivity of positivity.
Acid plays my brain as an instrument, it's placid and strange with bits of significance. In this instant bliss, smoky spirits desecend from heights unknown. With one microphone to bring revolution, bass shakes and sings evolution. Resonate vibrations make hesitant gyrations. It's an orbiting prespective to restore the directive and explore it's perfection.
I'm a defender of dharma, surrendered to karma and forever as larva. I persist through the chrysalis just to exist in such bliss as this. A soft breeze carries light feet over an ever-growing scene of serene dreams. On tangerine wings my hands can weave beams of light.....

Under The Shade Tree
[/size][/b][/center]Under The Shade Tree
Have you been Under The Shade Tree yet? Have you been there lately? It is one of the more unique rooms on the board and a break away from the run of the mill. You can play games like "Word Association", and the ever popular "The Person Above You". Join in discussions on sports, relationships, music, or just catch up with the fam. You might laugh, you might get angry; but whatever the case, you will be back! So next time you're in the Oasis, remember to cool off, and make a stop Under The Shade Tree!
