I Am Not Hamlet

 This is the last poem of mine, I believe, that will be published this year. Foreshadow, the publisher of this one, is presenting another poem next year some time.  This one is kinda-sorta a poem. I tried to write it in a modified blank verse, but it just wasn't working that way. This is how it turned out. https://www.foreshadowmagazine.com/magazine/untitled2866983

 This is the third time I've been published in Jesus the Imagination . It is, however, the first time a poem of mine has been published with this journal. I haven't finished reading my copy, but so far there have been some excellent essays. Get yourself a copy today!

So, the first of four poems has dropped. Point your critical browser to this URL for lots of good stuff at Ekstasis :  https://www.ekstasismagazine.com/poetry/2023/bird-is-the-word Constructive criticism welcome!

I've got a piece on benthic macroinvertebrates in this new fantastic journal: Jesus The Imagination . It's filled with essays, artwork, and poetry. I haven't finished reading it, but I'm impressed so far. Check it out--it's available on Amazon.

...Hail bounteous May that dost inspire    Mirth and youth and warm desire! Woods and Groves are of thy dressing, Hill and Dale doth boast they blessing. Thus we salute thee with our early Song, And welcome thee, and wish thee long.                                        --John Milton: "Song on May Morning"
