New poems

Inspiration during a pandemic elicits conflicted feelings. Nonetheless, I try to create mindfully, with good intentions, and share the best of what I can do.

Three new poems in two publications recently. They show you where my mind has been. I’m grateful to these publications that are sharing timely work. I hope that the messages in these poems become part of a timeless lesson to the future.

After this, there is no after.

Two poems up in Verse-Virtual: “Sonnet Staying In” and “Is it nice where you are?”

A poem up in Across the Social Distances: “I have been burying”

Have you been creating and sharing during this time? Feel free to share even further in the comments below.
