get your poem on #43
What time is it, Read Write Poemers? It’s time to Get Your Poem On, the only reason in the world to look forward to Mondays.
As a poet, this week, I asked you to avert your eyes no longer, to look at those scenes and accidents you’re not supposed to see. Now it’s time to post your poems on your blogs and leave us the link here in the comments section.
And what would a freak show be without gawkers? Be sure to travel around and visit the side shows of your fellow poets and read the poems they dared to write.

About seeing and not seeing: Treblinka Train Blues
an observation at Surfer’s Point:

which I turned into a GuerrillaReads vlog/YouTube
I may have another in me later this week, but this one would not let me be until I got it down so it gets to go first.

Enjoy.

I wrote a handful of haiku for this one: http://m0nkeyboy.wordpress.com/2008/09/03/voyeurs/
By sheer fluke, I wrote this this morning:

Carolee, great idea for a poem, so many directions one could take. Definitely one I’ll come back to.

Here’s a link that should work!
We walk
One more poem! I wrote this many years past while on an archaeological dig at a 2,000 year old burial site. I am willing to bet that you had the same experience at one time. Enjoy! Regards to all….DCH
The Watchers
Really got stuck on this prompt, so I thought I would offer another recent poem instead - it’s about being watched rather than watching, but I do rather like it…
Choreography
It should be interesting to see what everyone came up with. Mine is sort of like watching a watcher.

This memory came back to me as I pondered the prompt…

eh… here’s this.

St. Mary’s Orphanage, Galveston 1900
This poem has been waiting to be written for a very long time. Thanks Carolee for the prompt that help me release this.
I am submitting a piece by Nathan for this week’s Read Write Poem contribution. Check it out. (There really is a three-part poem by him tucked in there, and it’s good.)
conversations with feldman
A little late, but in case you were wondering what else kept me so busy -no it was not my school.

I’m running into a semipermeable membrane with this one. I have so many ideas and free-floating phrases here and there, but I can’t seem to make a cohesive poem out of them.
Sadly, I may have to pass up on this wonderful prompt.
However, I’m enjoying reading everyone’s works! 
Keep it up!
I thought of the “fascination” we have in observing the misfortune of others in the context of: polarities.
