OPEN MIKE?

The missing thing in this blog seems to be the poetry medium. But I'm afraid poetry in our times seems to be that new thing the "open mic" poetry-thon. Is it really poetry if it is spontaneously pronounced on the spot just like those TV shows where the teams compete by talking trash?

I think we need to make a call here for poets--especially Mike poets--if you can find them. But published poets only please.

Who will be the Michael Poet Laureate?
