We’re fans of John L. Stanizzi’s ambitious POND project. John writes, “The poems are acrostics. Everyday, at different times during the day, I visit our pond with notebook and camera in hand. I jot down some notes, take a picture or two, if a good photo op. presents itself. Then I head home and write a four line acrostic using the letters P, O, N, and D. The other caveat, which makes the project so interesting to me, is that I cannot use any of my first words more than once. I need a different P, O, N, or D word every day; I began the book on November 9, 2018 and completed it on November 8, 2019, without ever missing a single day.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Preening and twittering and singing themselves dry, the morning\u2019s
\noratory is song \u2013 red-winged, goldfinch, yellow warbler, red-belly \u2013
\nnoisy and excited, flying up and down and sideways, a
\ndoodle of lines in feathers all across the humid gray morning.<\/p>\n
