Tricksters: October Poetry Fishbowl

Over on LiveJournal, ysabetwordsmith is doing her monthly poetry fishbowl. The theme this month is tricksters. You can leave prompts and donate to unlock the poems. There’s also a freebie up.

For a full explanation of the fishbowl concept, see Ysabet’s post. The short version is indie publishing at its best: readers want stuff, writers make it, money (or linkbacks like this post) support the writer so they post the materials.

Ysabet’s poetry is swell: diverse cast, smart science and magic, wicked sense of humor. Go. Read. Support.

ETA: I left a prompt about tricksters coaching timid little things in how to outsmart more powerful opponents. Ysabet wrote the poem “The Small and the Swift” to fill it.
