Here poetry is free, and it is freed from the preconceptions and tastes of editors, publishers and booksellers. The advantage of publishing poetry on-line is that time, distance, money and gatekeeping no longer stand between writer and reader. Read on, and feel free to leave a comment.
The pertinent thing you see
is the Pantheon
which channels light
not water
and replenishes each day
The impertinent thing you don’t see
is unknown to theology
That’s the thing to look for
as you won’t trip over it
nor will it hit you
Follow the scent of dusk
As it darkens
and no owl takes flight
you’ll be hollowed out
or swallowed up
into an apter metaphor
