Ponder these Poems at Ponder Savant

This one's a doozy, five poems at Ponder Savant. They were selected for the theme "Still Shining." It's collection involving Arlington's Columbia Pike, Ticker Tape parades, and Plato. Thanks to Mia Savant for posting them.

This Poem Might Give You the Vapors

A new poem of mine "Vapor Gold" is in Lucky Jefferson's 365 Collection. It should be the second one down.

The Goshdarn Freaking News

A poem of mine by the same name is up at Pendemic, a publication that's been set up in reaction to the current pandemic. Some of you may have guessed that the title of the poem (and this post) comes from Chapo Trap House. If you did, you won, and your prize is...more poetry.

Happy Mother's Day

Now that I've got that out of the way, here's two poems for you all to read in the Trouvaille Review. The first is called A Pause After. The second is called Tendency Backstory. A little backstory to this backstory, I originally submitted this poems with the last line missing by mistake. It was accepted nevertheless. So I added the line, and it was accepted. I guess that means, in theory, I had three poems chosen by the review.

One of a Kind Poem

But then again, every poem is a one of kind, for the most part. It's in a one of a kind journal, Infection House. The picture above depicts a woman using a stereoscope, which is what inspired the comparison with Victorian Britain mentioned in the poem.

On Display at the Museum of Poetry

The Museum of Poetry has put a poem of mine up. One of my first quarantine-inspired works.

What's the Deal with Poetry

Some music to get you into the mood

Hello, and happy Saturday to those still observing the weekend. I just published a poem in The Daily Drunk involving a dream I had a while back. Somehow the show Seinfeld got involved, maybe I was watching reruns of it at the time.

A Soul's a Sort of a Fifth Wheel to a Wagon

Many thanks to Osamase Ekhator for publishing me on his website "Featured Poets."

First New Post in a While, Oh Wait

The Greek Silk Journal has published a poem of mine in their spring issue. It's a meta-poem I suppose, given its subject. I know here in New York City it may not feel seasonal yet, but maybe where you are primavera has begun to not just blossom, but flourish in the air.

Your Sunday Morning Shuffle (A Day Early)

New poem of mine in Twist and Twain, an outfit based in Assam. That's in Indian, folks. I know the subject describes a possible Sunday morning (for a possible, very hypothetical writer) and today is Saturday. But who really knows what day it is any more? Or month? Or year? Is it 2021 yet?

First is Not the Worst

New poems in the first edition of Flora Fiction.  Don't let the name fool you, there's plenty of poems in the journal. The second one is an older piece of work. I wrote it for a creative writing class at NYU. I don't remember what the specifics of the assignment were, but I used them to produced a work about the sights and sounds of Washington Square Park.

Low Risk Fuel

First blog post coming at you all from quarantine. To be honest, it feels like when I lived in New Jersey. Staying indoors and glued to screens. Nevertheless, the poetry has persisted. Here is a poem just published in As It Ought to Be Magazine,

Special Offer on the World's Fare

This poem is more than just a special offer (it's free like all the others I post here), it's the name of the piece itself. Read the poem and then move on to the rest of the venue it's published in, Ephemeral Elegies (the poetry of emotion).

A Found Poem Finds Its Way Into a Literary Journal

A poem of mine has been published in the inaugural issue of Revolute.  It is called Circumflex. As you can tell from the title and the image above, the basis of the text is a description about the accent mark.

Looking Ahead

A poem of mine "Looking Ahead" was published in Line Rider Press which publishes "working class poetry/" Follow the link the read the work!
