The New Issue



The New Issue

Who is Jean Harlow?  Yes, who is she really?
Nineteen thirty seven…it’s anyone’s guess!
If you read our magazine, you’ll ideally
learn this – and so much more.  Stratosphere Express!
Want to see your signs and portents?  This, we know,
is just the tip of the iceberg.  And although
Great Sea Stories also fill our pages
we’re perfect for all literary sages!

Notes of Issue (get it??!!): Today, Sepia Saturday posted the above magazine cover art as their prompt.  Very cool, right?  Since I am still in Rispetto mode (thank you, Robert Lee Brewer and Poetic Asides) that's the form I used for the poem.  And obviously, as you can see, I just decided to write a cover for the cover!

Finally, if you get the chance, check out Poetic Bloomings.  They interviewed moi for this week's poets' spotlight.  

Thanks - and have a great weekend!
