Since its inception, communication on portland indymedia has never taken prose as its sole form. Poetry, flyers, music, art, comics, posters, stickers, and video have all found a place here as well. Satire, fiction, humor, and other forms of writing have also been prevalent. These works can provide a different perspective, a laugh, or simply a change of pace. In an effort to highlight recurring content there are 2 special pages (so far) that have been created. The Daily Poetry Movement - For almost 2 years migratory bird has brought poetry to portland indymedia to provide insight and reflection on current events. The Daily Grind - For 12 weeks Aaron Neathery contributed a comic of biting social commentary to the indymedia community.

The red cross says it is torture
But the American Psychological association Says that it is not torture They should be there to oversea Dog cages and human being electrocuted randomly One person who was locked Inside the walls of secret documents Was a teacher Whose only crime was flunking a student The student fingered them for being a terrorist The CIA says that 1/3 of those in Guantanamo Are probably innocent

Money is a vice I wore
Taking over my mind It negotiated its own results . It had its own illogical sequences Bad mathematic formulas that no one bothered to unravel The sequences were not 'solvable" And there fore pleasing to the economic It made sense to me that money was power And I had abdicated the throne.

What is the GAP in logic? How can we really increase the amount of board feet that we have harvested from our nationally "managed" forests. Even a federal emergency does not grant the GAP my pardon. You are sick, sick, sick!
The Gap Three months ago On all the major corporate TV news shows They reported that water in the Sierras was at 90 percent capacity. Everyone who has had any longevity or science background Knew that this was to blow a cool breath of relief against The squinting view of Global Warming Even as I said that the glaciers were all but dead They said they measured and we were fine

Grassroots Radio Conference— GRC-13: Call for proposals
The Grassroots Radio Conference is being held in Portland, OR, July 25 - 27th, at the Native American Student and Community Center, at Portland State University. The Grassroots Radio Conference is an annual gathering of community radio activists in support of this mission: " More than audio outlets, volunteer-based community radio stations are cultural institutions in their communities, reflecting the unique concerns and passions of the people who live there. With a system of governance based on openness and collaboration, and diverse programming produced by volunteers and funded by listeners, these stations are cornerstones of participatory democracy, offering ordinary citizens the chance to exercise First Amendment rights in a mass medium and audiences the opportunity to directly support the programming that is of importance to them." Each year, the conference provides skill building workshops, space for important discussions and information exchange, and panel presentations on a variety of relevant topics. We are currently soliciting panel participants and workshop leaders in the following topic areas:  http://kboo.fm/grc

Lets work together to make raw food something that all can enjoy, not just the super privileged.
Hi all! I'm looking for folks who want to start a radical worker owned raw food cooperative in portland, or although people from neighboring towns are welcome to participate. Projects that I had been brainstorming for the coop would be making handmade zines and ebooks, foraging workshops, cheap donation based underground cafe and well as maybe renting spaces for fancy raw food meals. Doing benefits for animal and earth rights prisoners and hosting talking events about GMO issues, etc. Also we can order food in bulk and share the wealth and discounts. This is not about making money, so it need not be a full time job for anyone.We also really need someone who can make a website or blog page. Decisions in the group will be made on consensus basis not majority rule. Profits made by the coop will be distributed to those in the coop who express the most need at a particular time as well as putting them into future projects. All interested can email me at circleakitchen(at)yahoo.com.

We can go longer afford to cut down trees for shelter. Soon we will have none of the blessings that healthy forests give us. We will have lost our water, our air, our soil health, all the food and healing plants, and other diverse species. So how shall we live? How shall we build shelters? We do what humans have done for millons of years. We use stone, earth and fast growing plants.

She leads me
The madness surrounds me. Wild, crazed, violent madmen, berserkers of greed, power and blood lust continue their antediluvian creed of slash, loot, rape and burn. Taking my hand, She leads carefully through forgotten forests into the highlands of an unfamiliar youth. Here, underneath the gentle music of dragonfly wings lives the cool still waters of remembrance. ..... NOTE: Be sure to read the rest of this poem in the "Read More" link.

Independence, California is on fire. It is an ancestral legacy to me. I am pissed. I am sad for the large number of fire fighters who have been hurt! SAVE OUR OLD GROWTH FOREST! A large old growth tree can be hit many times by lightening and never catch flame! We will burn if we cut it down! Save independence!

Warm Greetings, This is the first update from the Supporters of Nathan and Joyanna for some time. We have been waiting to send further updates until they could speak for themselves. Firstly, Nathan and Joyanna have elected to now return to the names that they chose for themselves years ago, Exile and Sadie.
After having been sentenced on June 1st to 92 months each, they are both faring well as they transition into the bizarre labyrinth of Federal Prison. They have elegantly endured this first month since their absurdly punitive sentencing. Finally out of Lane County, they find themselves in different circumstances on the move to their final prison assignments. Both have asked that folks hold off on sending books but always welcome mail. We strongly encourage you to send images at this time, particularly pictures and drawings of the natural world as well as spiritual imagery and depictions of spiritual practice. Words may not be the most useful tools for assuaging the alienation they must both be feeling at this time. First Epistle: Phoenix From the Flames, By Sadie and Exile: "Now that we have been sentenced we have the opportunity to ease our reticence concerning our situation and would like to candidly address a few points... "

Many perform on the streets simply to give free art to the world. Many perform for political reasons, to spread a political message on public streets, as in the tradition of agit-prop (agitational propaganda). But most buskers have had days when they are playing because they need the money, not because they want to. On these days, it is more attractive than ever to "sell out." I interviewed some buskers to find out what "selling out" looks like in a busker context.
