Poetry Journal Dec. 31, 2023

 

Dec. 31, 2024

 

(I have no business posting contemporary poetry journals when I still have a shit load of stuff from 2012 through 2016, but since she has inspired new entries, I’ll post some of those that relate to her, and try to catch up with the old material).

 She must have something better to do than read old poems, a poor man’s banquet spread out on a table for her to devour, one tiny tidbit at a time, filling herself up with feelings long vanquished by time and experience, this parade of images that once meant too much and have lost their charm to the harshness of age, some poems like great wine get better when left for years in the vault, most don’t, and it is difficult to distinguish which is which and wish to simply bury with the emotions from which they were created, though she clearly can’t get enough of what once was, might have been, yet never became.
