Here is my poem featured by George Wallace in "Walt's Corner" in The Long Islander, right next to a photo of Walt Whitman. The Long Islander was founded by Walt himself in 1838. Thrilled!
Eight birdsperched on a lamp-postextending over the highwaygrip against tremorscaused by wind upriverand the Prime Chix truckroaring underneathPremiere Poultry Distributionall the way from Foodmart Road
Eight birdsperched on a lamp-postwish they were someplace elseanywhere but this lamp-postsquawk incessantlyabout their outrageand seem to have forgottenthe prime directive about birds--they know how to fly
Despite knowing how to fly, we all find ourselves trapped between the roadway and the market..
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being featured!
Foodmart Road. I can only imagine!
DeleteThanks, Kerry... Very wonderful, I had forgotten about this until I received my copy of the paper in the mail this week. :)
That's wonderful, Marian! You've brought yourself to a higher level undoubtedly!
ReplyDeleteAs to your poem, some people may dispute what others are doing when these do not impact directly on them. Great thoughts!
