I like the idea of ajar poetry
Makes it easy for the poet to come and go without disturbing another doing
the crossword
or the national lottery
helps solve the problem of family commitments - slip away in silence
you can go in and out of volumes and steal whatever you need - leave the
borrowers to knock on the door
when is a poem a jar?
i have paint brushes and scissors in jars - so much more functional than the
jars' makers intended
and for those who like their poetry doors closed, well let's jar them
ajar poetry it is
