Lucky me, up at two journals this month. Check out Zygote in My Coffee which kindly accepted “Circular Arguments” by yours truly. Also, this issue they have made me their ‘poem of the week’ with another little ditty I wrote called “Mark John”.
You know, sometimes I don’t even understand the things I write.
Hey-o, another journal has decided to take me on! Mastodon Dentist decided my piece “Summer Lake Sky” might be appropriate for a summer issue. I can’t say I blame them. Thanks Mastodon!
One neat thing about this journal is the free copyright art they use for their covers. I used to be able to find the link, now it seems to elude me.
Another neat thing is that I’m in it. Last page…which sems to suit me well nowadays.
…is in a place I’ve never seen before on my Google searches called Wordletting. Nifty name! I was struck by the current issue they had at the time because no one, I mean like no one, publishes what may be considered ‘you-based poetry’ anymore. It had to have some kind of a tilt or be about a psychotic cat or something.
So I dredged up a little something I wrote when I first met my way-cool friend B. (met being the optional word since we’ve never met in person) called “Jave Mocha“…which tuned out to be pretty darn coincidental since my way-cool friend B. lives in birthplace of the over-priced coffee. Also, a very nice surprise, another writer acquaintance Christian Ward appears on the first page with his piece, “The Sea”. Good work, man! (How do I get moved from the fourth page to the first?)
A small dilemma – the poem situated next to mine, “Memories”…okay, I’ll just say it. It’s WAY better than mine. The title needs a bit of refreshment but wow, good poem. Okay, so how do I get off the fourth page and get posted next to someone less talented?
Wordletting is holding on to my other two options for the April issue possibly. Do you think they take bribes?
