MykuWorld

I became a member at mykuworld a while ago but just started writing there 2 weeks ago. It's a poetry site that is pretty cool. All the poems are very limited in length, in the style of a lot of Ogden Nash's short poems. Poems are written on a board that looks like a calendar page. Each black is space for a poem. Once the first person starts a board, another person can link to that poem, using it for inspiration for their own. It's community poetry. There's no critique although one can comment on another's poem. The best comment, imho, is to write the next poem, linked to the one that inspires you.

Here are some I wrote for my friend Marie who will soon celebrate her wedding under the board heading "Summer Wedding":

In love, she's young again,
explores him for the first
time as if none came before;
there is only this one love.

This good woman- friend,
mother, artist, dreamer,
she has chosen a good man;
marriage is just affirmation.

They will give themselves,
one to the other in love;
he and she pledge and wed;
all will know their truth.
