Maybe not children. This story gets a little blue. Thanks to The Bookends Review for publishing A Morning Hersey. 

LIFE, BLOODY LIFE

 

Maybe my first time in a Substack? Paloma Magazine has two of my poems in the aforementioned named issue. Read "Preselling Out " and "Line Go Down," for personal takes on what the economy makes.

Hey True Crime Fans

 

Hey true crime fans, here's a poem I wrote that Dark Entries Journal liked! It is about the collection of various forms of detritus serial killers leave behind. Read it and consider the costs of celebrity culture and consumerism.

Washington Bridge Planh (Introducing Reuben St. Awesome)

 

Hello all, The Journal of Expressive Writing has published a poem of mine under the title Washington Bridge Plan. However, it is supposed to be Planh, a reference to a lamentable genre of troubadour poetry. Anyway, the poem is told from the perspective of one Reuben St. Awesome, a character I've created. Reuben is a pop star currently on tour when the poem takes place.  

The September Episode

 

Thanks to Lindsay Duarte for publishing two poems of mine in the first issue of Literaria. They are right at the end, the caboose to top it all off. One is about the end of September, and the other is about the end of the day. Maybe that's why they were placed there?
