Poetry Salzburg Review #18

 

Recently Received: Meligalas’ sad sack version of Hermes Trismegistus delivered the latest issue of Poetry Salzburg Review yesterday afternoon. I’m pleased to see poet and translator friend Mario Domínguez Parra’s poems gracing this fine poetry magazine a few pages away from those of yours truly—now that is a pleasant coincidence!

Hands Down

I swear it’s no contest—

No matter how difficult

A dish my wife sets out to prepare,

In the end I find it delicious that

Each has that impalpable finishing

Touch that tastes like nothing

So much as her winning grace.

Definitely Not Lemmings #30

A hearty welcome to DNL #30--the indefatigable poet, sculptor and all-around artist par excellence Ed Baker--thanks, Ed!

Where There's a Will, Poet

You want to leave

A legacy. What better way

Than to stay

Ineluctable, keeping

The inheritors away.

The Four Seasons in Brief

Four poems in search of a motive!
