Mind Murals - Acceptance!

Dear Readers,

I have joyful news!  Some of my poems and two photographs have been accepted to Sigma Tau Delta's 2015 edition of the regional online journal Mind Murals.  In anticipation of its upcoming publication, I thought I would put out this notice to alert you to the fact that - once they are published - you can read the accepted poems HERE.

In the meantime, a little something to whet your literary appetites (published in this year's Agora):

Exhalation

“Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!” (Luke 12:27-28)

Driven and driven and driven
And done
Riven and riven and riven –
The sun
The cart-horse, the apple
The leaf
And the spoon
Baldrics and blades
And the white
Of the moon
Time and cold space
And bold life
Burnt asunder
Leveling, leveling, leveling
Under
All in the death
In the breath
Of the thunder
Driven and driven and driven
And done.
