Poetry Fishbowl on Tuesday, February 2
This is an advance announcement for the Tuesday, August 2, 2016 Poetry Fishbowl. This time the theme will be "unexpected SCIENCE ensues." I'll be soliciting ideas for scientists, assistants, random bystanders, curious people, first responders, robots, aliens, other explorers, *frobbing, experimenting, inventing, rea ding, exploring, goofing off, crossing the streams, working the problem, garages, science fairs, laboratories, classrooms, libraries, secret lairs, kitchens, outer space, starships, alien planets, theories, science kits, lectures, lab equipment, tool kits, pop bottles, time machines, and poetic forms in particular.
*I've only heard "frobbing" used as "broad motions upon a device to determine what the components do," which is not the "aimless manipulation" described in the sources I could find, although they do match it with "twiddle" and "tweak" as intermediate and fine manipulation.
I have a linkback poem, "Changing Relations" (19 verses, The Moon Door).

If you're interested, mark the date on your calendar, and please hold actual prompts until the "Poetry Fishbowl Open" post next week. (If you're not available that day, or you live in a time zone that makes it hard to reach me, you can leave advance prompts. I am now.) Meanwhile, if you want to help with promotion, please feel free to link back here or repost this on your blog.
