That’s not a date-typo in the title!
I was not aware that my poem, expedition, had been published last year on The Whisky Blot: A Literary Journal featuring “literature, poetry, and haiku”.
Somehow, I’d lost track of this one and because it’s a ‘fun favorite’ of mine, I hope you don’t mind my sharing it with you!
sometimes, family means nothing
their silence confirms it
I’ve been merely tolerated
for all these years
orange & dangerous
37 counts
a president’s betrayal
lock HIM up

My poem, a rhombus tango, appears in today’s edition of BarBar Magazine, an online literary magazine. I hope you’ll check it out. Thanks!
there’s lightning, too
sky shakes, rocks & rolls
heaven hammers its drums
puppy’s tail, downward position
my girlhood, my now
silent morning
streaky clouds, blue sky
daydreaming
calm, again
separated feeders
stilling the squall
of the bird bullies
october, my 1st true love
spring, nearly spent
not quite summer
still, I wait for fall
A Cento Poem
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!
