It’s been a very long time since I’ve reposted someone else’s work but I discovered this delightful prose poem today courtesy of the Lit Mag News’ monthly ‘mag brag’ newsletter and hope others will enjoy it as much as I did! It’s called Love Bites by Goldie Peacock and appears in MoonPark Review. It’s a real ‘catch’!!
our grave morning
two combatants
a decent man; the other, hardly so
and yet, evil somehow prevails
Freaky Friday
Numbers Game #27
Time again for the ‘numbers game’, a challenge by Judy Dykstra-Brown. Here are my photos for her Numbers Game #27 for June 24th. The way it works is to query the photos in your ‘stash’ for a particular number. The number chosen for her June 24th challenge is 148.
Friday Flower
they come in purple, pink, orange, red & yellow
coneflowers’ weighty crowns
hovering monarchs, bumbling bees
flower garden mainstays

In June of 2021, my poem, Outer Space, was originally published by Phantom Kangaroo. It was recently accepted, as a reprint, by Bulb Culture Collective, an “online literary space for previously published creative work”. This morning, I discovered it is now available on their website.
Here’s the link to their publication of Outer Space. It’s one of my favorite pieces and I hope you enjoy it!
