His black and white faces go running by

Two poems of mine are now online, a few minutes early for June: "Madonna of the Cave" at Lone Star Stories and "Lamellae (Hipponion and Cambridge)" at Ideomancer. The former was written on a prompt from handful_ofdust, the latter more or less as its note says. Otherwise I would draw your particular attention to Leah Bobet's "The Parable of the Shower" and Jacqueline West's "Arsinoë's Sister," also Marcie Lynn Tentchoff's "Grace in the Desert" and Larry Hammer's "At Death's Door," but both tables of contents are rather awesome. The world should be full of good art. It's the proper order of things.

Oh, I like those poems very, very much.

Very nice poems, there. And I firmly believe that, if ever you do write the poem where the main character simply visits Florida, it will still be wonderful and distinctly you-like. And I would not think it amiss if a dybbuk showed up--why shouldn't they visit Florida, also?

Very nice. I especially LOVE "The Madonna of the Cave"....

Congrats!

Love your "Lamellae," love your willow catkins and your squabble of goslings. And I have to say, meant to e-mail you, that I've been reading through Sybil's Garage, and when I realized which poem "Skiadas" was, I was so happy to see it again--that's one I really love, remember you writing.

Oh I **love** Larry's poem. I love sestinas. And that story by Leah Bobet was just perfect--really, really wonderful. The other poems you linked to were beautiful as well, but Larry's poem and Leah's story in particular I loved. (I want to go back and look at Ideomancer not just from your links but from its own presentation--I was impressed by how both Larry's poem and Marcie's had a desert theme, and yours too had a parched promise :-)

Beautiful poems. Thank you.

I need to make it a point to read your work before I write my own. You remind me how much is out there and how alive everything, animate or inanimate, is, and always with a longing in the heart.

I especially liked "Lamellae".
