Yesssssssssssssssss!!!!! This one got accepted by The American Poets and Poetry Journal.... and another, as well, posted here last year in November, "Teachers".... HA is a happy camper.....  ))). . . . November Natchez, 1863 . . . Spongy homespun suits, sopping, stoneweight, turgid, seamless serges, saturate, streaming sodden shelters, scarred swollen shapes scared to swamp the Mississippi steamships, stranded soldiers, stockstill side-by-side, soul-soaked, skin-drenched, scan a listless tide. Septicemic unwashed places, social graces scarce supply, unstirred flesh, miasmal seepage stunning senses, cedes the scene as certain suicide, erasing sights, scents, obscene. Constant sheeting, slanting sleet, slapping faces astern the upperclass salon's plush places snug, serene, secure, ship's officers and crew musing men in misery, with Pilate wash up, too. --H. Arlequin . . . . Poems From the Goober Tree http://nathoo.wustl.edu/goober_tree.htm |
