Stop by to check our our book display, take a poem with you, and make magnetic poetry.

Some magnetic poems made so far:

recall enormous plastic swift skin
let us
not
she is wild but as creatures play..

**

smell sweet perfume/ no need for
more desire/ you watch me fly through
the blue delight on my face

**

rename a pig
and lick up garden rust
to make easy love together

**

symphony woman has fire
I dream named tasting nectar

**

embrace the night like home

**

a compassionate moon dream chant
Worship the languid peach
picture a cunning rose cat
kiss a mischievous blossom
ask for ancient stormy beauty
And sing of whispered diamond moments

**

Garden mist as frantic goddess
watching
smooth water soar above like music
from shining love
