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:

Pilgrimage to Felipe
Gray

wind, rush, smooth,
 1
henley soars in my mind,
 2
a piano now takes the form,
 3
an eagle breaks free
 4
 
 
slow, stop, go,
 5
desperado is riding, racing,
 6
swedish ingenuity and style
 7
 
 
lights, candles, headlights,
 8
around the corner, the turn,
 9
a mountain or a road,
 10
a diversion thank the lord
 11
 
 
black, yellow, black,
 12
the fine line between salvation,
 13
its antithesis: redemption
 14
 
 
duel, dalton, duel,
 15
alienation in heavy traffic,
 16
strike down those alone,
 17
honestly inconsequential
 18
 
 
sail the street of souls, my son.
 19
