WINTER WALK IN WOODS

[Published in Three Line Poetry]


WINTER WALK IN WOODS


Winter walk in woods--
cold wind rattling through beech leaves
brings warmth to my mind.

A Look Back At 2011

I can't believe how good a year 2011 was in terms of publishing.  I had 18 poems published!  The year started off with Do Not Look At The Sun accepting "Thoughts While Viewing Van Gogh's Fishing Boats..." for publication in its spring issue.  That was quickly followed by acceptance of five poems for inclusion on The Beatnik's blog.  Three Line Poetry published seven poems, distributed across issues 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8, with the sixth and seventh poems being accepted and included in issue 8 just days before the year ended.  And, I was especially pleased to finally publish poems from my Skimino Cycle.  The Copperfield Review published six poems from this group-- three in the Summer issue and three in Autumn issue.

What does 2012 have in store?  Too early to say, but I do have poems out for consideration by the Baltimore Review, The Copperfield Review, and Poetry Quarterly.
