#100Days100Poems of What’s Next!? Day 9

Despite what the departing Pompeo would have you believe, the beauty of this place is how our differences come together in a vibrant and color-rich tableau. Photographer Brooke Olsen captures this, and reminds us of the work ahead.

Get Them In A Row

Filmmaker/Photographer Brooke Olsen has been taking photos since the day she discovered her grandfather’s Polaroid Land Camera. The connection to images was instant, just like the film she was shooting. Born in New York, transplanted to Los Angeles, and now breathing fresh air in Maine. Can be found on Instagram @olsenfoto

For the first 100 days of the Biden administration, this website will feature a new poem of What’s Next!? These pieces can be calls to action, calls to attention, or calls to anger. They will light the way and guide the fight. They will get us moving and keep our momentum. They will be filled with hope, with anger, with sorrow. They will get us into good trouble and point out the trouble we need to stop. They will be polished gems, or rough-cut drafts of rage, or in-process pieces searching for peace. They may be haiku or tanka, limericks or lyrics, verses free or fettered.

#100Days100Poems of What’s Next!? wants your poems, your prose, your visual art (photos, drawings, sculptures), your music, your short films and animations. Interpret the theme as broadly as you’d like.

If you would like to submit to this endeavor, please send an email, with your visual art (as .jpg or .pdf) or your poem saved as a word document (.docx) to waxyandpoetic AT gmail DOT com. Include a short bio (2-3 sentences) and social media/website information. All rights remain with the author. Please address any formatting preferences in your email. Waxyandpoetic.com will post submissions time permitting, with at least one per day beginning 20 January 2021. Read, follow, share, submit, live, love, spread light! Don’t forget to use #100Days100Poems !

#100Days100Poems Day 91

A poem and “performance piece” inspired by a recent topic of the WNYC program “Indivisible.” In theory, the ad should say on Craig’s List for seven days.

#100Days100Poems Day 78 #PhotoHaiku

We are continuing to present either a #PhotoPoem or #PhotoHaiku inspired by what is found in the collection of sculptures at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Rather than discuss the titles, origins &tc. of the sculptures themselves, each #PhotoPoem or #PhotoHaiku will instead be unified by the title the author has given, regardless of the context of each individual sculpture, its national origins or artistic school.
