The last 3 months – April, May, June- have been filled with poetry events I curated, events wherein I featured. I finished 4 poems and submitted them to Rattle, Narrative and Cincinnati Review. One of the pieces was over 90 lines long. Now it is time for a break. I will spend time reading, taking care of some personal business and tending to my veggie garden. I will be offline for a while but you will see me at literary venues from time to time.

Rose early had breakfast
Read and meditated over coffee
edited a poem I plan to submit
Morning workout consisted
of walking across the Key bridge
A few pics the Potomac,
Kennedy Center and
the Watergate Hotel
Time to Rest
like me work over
the sun retires from labor
we drift into rest
