I keep puppy’s door open

northwest wind
I keep puppy’s door open
for only so long

sunshine
how my soul
soars

I’d like to share two poems published in the last week or so that I hope you will enjoy. Do let me know what you think!
My poem abecedarian pomp & circumstance, circa 1987, was my first (and so far, only) attempt at this particular form of poetry. I wrote it after a workshop I attended via Zoom and, another first for me, this one appears in The Lake, a UK-based online poetry journal.
The second piece is a prose poem I wrote after a disastrous lunch with my son who lives near St. Louis. We don’t, on occasion, get along too well and this was a perfect example of just that. It’s called The Incident and was published today in Red Ogre Review, another online journal.

the absurdity of poetry
from now on
I go my own way
be a goldfish, ted says
a willingness to try
no grasping at straws
One of my prose poems was published today in The Metaworker Literary Magazine, an online journal.
It’s a bit of a departure from what I usually write. Well, maybe. I do tend toward the quirky and the weird and the odd, don’t I? 
Anyway, it’s called The Furrowing and it is the second prose poem of mine to be published here. I hope you will enjoy it.
As always, thank you for LOOKING!
Post Script: For the sake of completeness, here’s the link for the first one. 🙂
