Latest addition: Susan Lynn Elliott, added 14 January 2012. The best of my poetry. Most of these were originally written for the Daily Whale, my daily joke, epigram, or satirical tidbit. All are short; most are funny; all are formalist (no free verse, other than the odd parody), though some of the forms are alien to tradition. Read ’em or look to the blue bar on the left for suggestions. Enjoy!

In the first light it stood again. Now smoke strides daily above the town And if a spark strikes, then Take it as you must And in a gust of days Raise a blaze of dust To a dusty day. December 2011
