another of the poems accepted

another of the poems accepted by a small press magazine - Half Tones To Jubilee in December of 1995. It never was included in any manuscript. Small presses come and go - but they need support for however long they manage to survive, for they are the very life blood of the arts.

today i added a visitor counter ... but it'll probably be a bit bogus, as it adds a visit each time i go to the page to check for comments or update & view the blog. Oh well, i think it will help me know if anyone else is viewing these pages ....

also worked up a dozen or so more posts to be added from time to time, mostly things that never appeared in any of my books, but not exclusively, and poems accepted by small press magazines, also not in any of my books ... so at least for the time being, this blog will continue.


THE SINS OF AN ENTIRE GENERATION

we washed the sins of an entire generation from our souls in the dark california fog
upon the black rocks of the little sur we memorized the flight pattern of the speckled gull
it was a time for living
we were believers in dreams

we were hawks waiting for wings as we waltzed down the dusty salinas valley lettuce fields
in the ever shadows of the sugar refinery we hunted for secrets that had no formula
it was a time for living
we were inventors of dreams
