barn owls

Good news: Barn Owl Review took two new poems for their second issue! Check out their cool, new website. Poems upcoming in Harpur Palate and Gargoyle too.

Back to killing tent worms.

More ditties from work:

"The shoe is not traveling to San Francisco."

and this, said with deep, dry sarcasm:

"Aah, the neoclassical plinth...is highly prized."

A poet has sent me work to critique (and enjoy). Now I have to reciprocate. Any cure for writers' block out there?

I realized I have a somewhat interesting job when I gave this report to a colleague: "No workmaster for the jade tomato."

Here's some others:
"Is the turtle near the elephant bell push?"
"The cranberry has been removed."
"Art and architecture has been changed to a wedge."
"The crown is the surprise inside the egg."
