Re: Publication announcements

One poem was chosen today by the Borderless Journal. It was workshopped by the Waters Poetry at Tapatalk. I will post it when it is published. Thank you for sharing your published poems. We learn a lot from these pieces because it tells us what the editors are looking for. And it is a joy to read we...

Re: Leopold Mozart Writes to his Daughter

The argument within the poem is well worked at--though I admit that I will have to read up some of the back story.

Re: Donkey's Milk
