Works in the William Blake Archive. Darwinian Poetry: Home. A Website for the Independent Literary Community. Litline.org was a website created for the independent literary community. It represented non-commercial literary presses and magazines. Not only that, it facilitated the opening of bookstores and organized conferences and festivals. In this materialistic day and age, the terms “art” and “profit” are often interchangeable. Average “art” thrives, while authentic art and artists, who create something of cultural value, can barely pay for their groceries. Most famous poetry books, plays, and innovative novels around today were not published by large commercial companies. This is the reason LitLine.org was created in the first place.

C’mon, they’ve had a drought all year. Why does the rain and sleet show up just when I want to visit? There’s been lots of rain here, too; those days I work out at the Y.

Still, when it’s sunny I’m not about to spend my time walking around in circles in a building. My go-to place has been Theler Wetlands and Port Orchard most of this winter, and I manage to always find something that makes even a poor-birding day a good day — it just means I have to look a little harder. On my last trip I noticed that some of the red-purple flowers are starting to join the Skunk Cabbage and Trillium in celebrating Spring’s arrival.

They’re not very spectacular, but they certainly stand out in the shaded forest where they grow. These low-growing purple flowers would probably be overlooked by pollinators mid-summer, but they stand out now. Jared Carter Poetry. Blogenspiel. Rhyme & Reason. Barbara fletcher / poet.
