baubles

gilt thrones ablate,

glow at reentry.

corroded monarchs applaud,

their gauds

reflected in your eyes.

mythoku

quaint spelean
chapel built on worn ruins
"guide" draws bronze knife

after the service
you may kiss the yellow hem
abhorrent sermon

the stain grows
hollow-eyed folk tremble and
something strokes your cheek

Third Annual DN Charity Fundraiser

Third Annual DN Charity Fundraiser

Subscribe to Dreams and Nightmares – donate to community soup bowl


Beginning now and continuing through December 23, 2009, when you buy a lifetime subscription to Dreams and Nightmares ($90) I will donate half ($45) to the East Tuscaloosa Community Soup Bowl, which is my local soup kitchen. I know there are many people in the world who have needs, but I choose to make much of my community outreach gastronomic. The soup bowl is run by a small and dedicated group. Their current goal is to be able to serve lunch every day. In a small way I'm helping them do that.

Believe this: $90 for a lifetime supply of an award-winning genre poetry magazine (Professional Book Center merit award; HWA Stoker nomination; YBF&H honorable mentions; SFPA Rhysling nominations & winners). A very very good deal!

But wait, there's more!

You also get copies of all available back issues when you sign up (9 are available right now, a $45 value). DN has been around for 23 years, and 84 issues have been published so far. Think of a name in genre poetry -- I have probably published something by that person. You can see the tables of contents of some back issues and the covers of more of them at the magazine's website (http://dreamsandnightmares.interstellardustmites.com/).

Now is a great time to subscribe.

Oh, check out my poetry blog at http://dreamsandnightmaresmagazine.blogspot.com.

My flash "Letters" is at 13 min 10 sec

well, I'm back

once again

a dream of
the Garden
this time the door was open
stepping through was like
coming home

steampunk analog transmat
very period
but tuning's rough:

missed it by THAT much

red queening it
