Good news!

[echoes_s]

and in the midst of a flood

I have been notified two poems of mine are being published in a Canadian Anthology book from the depressed poets society (heh)
called Sharing the Dark

the two poems are

whisper-walk

lifeless calm,
deadpan droop
reverberating silence,
quivered sighs
in eerie gray

drawn blankness,
a dry brush
scratching canvas,
scattered bristles
a tired drag

fleeted reprieve,
an incomplete second
knowing you are here
“just one more step”
whispers again


and...


shaky morning

my mind wobbled a bit
breath hesitated,
tears formed,
love and death
with madrigal meaning,
lust, life and Christ...
Where does it all fit?

silent incantations,
self-esteem boost,
repetitive consideration,
reflexive caffeine sips,
the sun’s cape glimmered
off snow flounders
peeking through my window.

a sigh with so much meaning
yet meaningless slips
into sleepiness,
idle time blunders
as I creep back to bed,
it’s too early to wake,
weakness hasn’t
enough strength
yet.

Congratulations...

But then you do have a lot of stuff worthy of publication, it's just a matter of getting it out there. Well done.

I just saw this! Like I said, you're good.

Big congrats to you!

 

[echoes_s]

Thank you all!

Of course if it wasn't for you and Lit I would still be writing in a closet with my flashlight.

Psst, I now have two boot boxes full of poetry in the dark now Had to buy new boots for the third box and it was hip rubber boots!

 

[WickedEve]

Way to go, and I really like both poems.

Way to go echoes! all that passion had to lead you somewhere


seattle wants to know if she can borrow your closet

& wants to know if it is waterproof?
I don't get it.

Congratulations echoes!

Both poems are moving and somewhat unsettling, which you convey very well. I hope to be reading your serenity poem soon.

from what I understand, most places would consider literotica more of a workshop than an actual publication. Others claim differently. If you do write to her, I would put it that way and then take it down. It might not be necessary, but seems the right thing to do.
