magnetic poetry

Posted in ,

    • Lately I've gotten back into doing magnetic poetry compositions on our fridge. I FINALLY got around to putting the rest of them up there (we moved in a month and a half ago and I had only put up a fraction of it), and the two of us here are enjoying making weird, funny, and perverted phrases. We have the Original Magnetic Poetry kit.

    I found interesting but older article about a writer's fest where the little magnets were invovled, San Francisco's Litquake Festival. (This year's is in October for those of you in or near SF, which I am definitely not.)

    Anyway I got thinking... what about starting a blog or website (maybe a Flickr thing would be more appropriate) specifically for the public to post their magnetic poems? I think images are the best way because it translates the thinking and the physicality of the poetry. Not everyone has a digital camera though, or a webcam, so making text-only available is smart as well. Is anyone interested in helping me with this? What do you think is the best format?

    Alternative to comments would be to email me.

At heart, I'm a geek and a total treehugger. Nature, tea, good food and great company make me happy.
