Poetic Memes

Not mine, but all of ours in the poetic corner of the blogosphere, in its way.

Yes, that’s right, you’ve seen these memes stalking facebook for days. Now you have one too, poets. You didn’t think the internet would forget about you did you?

Let’s be honest: the cat’s has a point. You’re not seeing too much of the poet locking himself away in the woods for months on end to tap into the secrets of nature these days.

Aren’t the changing times fun?
