Poetry Critical 2.0

Hey guys, Donald here.

In a few weeks, this site will be 9 years old. 9 years! And I still know some of the earliest submissions by heart.

But, boy. That’s like 102 in web-years. So it’s time for something new. I’m building that something now with my nights-and-weekend minutes (and plenty of coffee). Buy me a cup?

Random Poem:

he comes to the bank every thursday
slimsoap

this pocket change, i realize
 1
is so generic; but as it breaks
 2
rotation, passing over
 3
a dozen soiled palms
 4
to settle into yours, it becomes
 5
so glassy and appealing that
 6
the reflection projected to my eye
 7
makes me smile.
 8
 
 
and he'll never know
 9
how i rush the rest of the line
 10
to help him.
