"Publish Me" is another poem resting on a single metaphor used quite adroitly--in this case, a sexual being. Nice, funny thoughts, this one puts into play. Read the poem here at Oak Bend Review.
Years ago, a teacher of mine had us write wanted ads. It was an interesting exercise, but few of ours were as interesting as hers. We were, by nature, much closer to beginners. Mine, I'm sure was overwrought, attempting for something big. And yet, simple is often better. Krause's "Classified #10" does just that--keeps to the basics and suggests something profound and wonderful and sad. Read the poem here at Boston Literary Magazine.
Erin Murphy's "My Turn" spins off another poem--her turn at doing Dylan Thomas's "Do Not Go Gently," and a fantastic turn it is. I don't know if I'll ever savor candy without thinking of this poem from here on. Read it here, also at Boston Literary Magazine.

Those are some great poems. Thanks for helping me discover them.
Glad you liked the poems. I don't feature much poetry on the blog, so when I do, I'm very much a fan of them. They spoke to me somehow.
How strange it is to run across a mention of my poem here. I'm flattered to be sure. Thanks.
Yep. And look for some more poetry later this month.
Echoing Eric's comment, I'm really flattered to have come upon this. I almost never do a web search for my name, but I have a poem coming up in Gargoyle #57 (a really good magazine) and wanted to see whether it'd be career-ruining for someone to search for me. Anyway, thanks.
