Many thanks to editor Diane Sahms.

Viole(n)t

 

Violet. Add an n and it becomes violent. 

My dark sonnet, "Song of the Violet Chasuble" has been accepted for publication in the September issue of Pulsebeat. Thank you to editor David Stephenson. 

Although my work had been published on six occasions in the past, the poetry editor of First Things was too chicken (not to mention rude) to even acknowledge receipt of my submission of "Song of the Violet Chasuble" to his journal back in May. 

Maybe it hit too close to home for his readers.

Three New Poems Accepted for Publication!

 I'm delighted to report that three of my recent poems have been accepted for upcoming publications: "Song of the Bright Red Bike" and "Song of the Indigo Inclusion" for Think Journal, and "Song of the Orange Rose" for The Lyric. Many thanks to editors Brian and Jean.

 Flammarion Woodcut Pilgrim Redux

 

He scans the sky and wonders if the Hubble

will burst (or not) the quintessential bubble,

plotting new data on a deep field chart

light years removed from any human heart.
