I keep thinking of this poem of mine, which originally appeared in Visual Verse a few years back. Maybe it'll speak to you, too.
Very pleased that my 'Roadside Sonnet' has found a place in Neologism, Issue #109. Great stuff! www.neologismpoetry.com/June-2026/
Glad to see my wee review review of 'What She Said' by Ilisha Thiru Purcell (Verve PP) in the current issue of The Candyman's Trumpet curated by Jack Caradoc.
Everyone: please read 'Goyle, Chert, Mire' by Jean Sprackland. It's just gorgeous, gorgeous poetry.

If you fail to capture a constantly (and quickly) moving target, just keep trying (and let imagination sit at the table, too).
