spring, nearly spent
not quite summer
still, I wait for fall
Here’s my poetic interpretation of a cento poem, recently published in The Loch Raven Review. It’s called Pitched to the Injured Choir.
A cento poem is entirely composed of verses or passages taken from other poets or authors. The poem must reference each original source, to give proper credit where credit is due.
I hope you like it!
I just realized my prose poem, Bongo-Bongo, was published in the Eunoia Review, a Singapore-based online literary journal back in February but I don’t know that I was ever notified. No matter! Better late than never, as they say. I’m so pleased to have been a contributor. 🙂
