New Poem

For lack of creativity (appalling, I know) I have created this post with the bland title "New Poem." However, it seems to get the point across. See the new poem by Sophie here:

"Elements of Sound"

winter stalks this land

it is getting colder, and that's a fact. hurray for little snow angels made in haste, hot drinks, bundled clothing and those itchy sweaters your grandma made for you because she cares.

let's all give an adopt a beard "howdy" to newcomer Sophie Jones. dearest Sophie, bless her heart, has contributed 2 poems to the site. note the occasional line contains an extra dose of pizazz.

My Ears Are Hurting
Endless Poem (It Seems)

i would also like to add to the collection with a poem of my own, The Saskatchewan Matador. it encorporates an awkward rhyme scheme inspired by Lord Alfred Tennyson (who is not awkward). his poem, which you might well have heard of and/or studied, is "the lady of shalott."

New material, Old Friends

Welcome, as always, to Adopt A Beard. I would like to thank Daniel North and Paul Ginz, two great poets and friends from afar. While I was away, they each sent me a poem, which you can now read here:

The Umbra Nihili - by Daniel North
Trauma - by Paul Ginz

If you new to this site, I would love to hear from you (or publish your poetry)! All it takes is a quick email. New friends are always welcome.

Farewell for now,

Hamnet.

Home, Sweet Home

After a long and rewarding trek through Europe, I have finally come to rest back in Saskatoon. There are many stories and pictures from the trip, but this is not the place for that. If you want to see the old travel blog, please go here.

Now that I am back, hopefully I can post all the wonderful poems which were sent my way during my absence. I look forward to even more to come as the year progresses!
