Thank you Editor, Glenn Lyvers, for publishing my poem "Still the World.  And, thank you for the kind comments concerning the piece.

Note from Editor:
This poem as a very old feel to it, a lot like Elizabeth Barrett Browning's voice I think, the way the lines undulate but keep that sweet pentameter with rounded sounds and gentle thuds on the stops. Nicely done. We have accepted this submission. You will soon receive a more detailed letter from the editor. Congratulations on your acceptance. It did take a little longer to evaluate all the poems for the issue. There were so many strong poems. We appreciate your patience.

Neptune’s Choir

There were hundreds of people singing there,

Voices at the shore.

Then the waves came crashing down

So many songsters drowned,

While seagulls lamented overhead,

Articulating above the water’s flow and ebb,

With shrill voices,

The fearful nature of grief.

Thank you to Elizabeth Gibson of Now/Then for publishing my poem.

THE MAGIC BLANKET

Love covers people as a magic blanket.
It falls into place at the right time,
laying over those who have need
of its enchantment and comfort.
All who feel its warmth
transform,
turning from lonely,
isolated,
sad, cold-hearted sleepers
into wakeful witnesses to life’s joy
by virtue of its miraculous touch.
