Post-election Poems in New Verse News
 

Just a heads-up that Rick Mullin and I are among those with post-election salvos in the New Verse News. (Writing deadline verse having proven preferable, at least in my case, to downing an entire bottle of Amaretto.)

Rick's poem (published today): http://newversenews.blogspot.com/201...aggregate.html

Mine (published yesterday): http://newversenews.blogspot.com/201...-cemetery.html

They're both excellent and congrats. I went the booze rout.

Both fantastic poems. Congratulations!

I'm ashamed for Pennsylvania, where I grew up. Melissa, I was thinking about that gravestone all day yesterday. There is still such a long road ahead, and now with that pussy-grabbing predator, that xenophobic, homophobic, racist, disgusting airhead in the highest office in the nation, if not the world, I shudder to think of what my native land will look like once he and his minions are finished with it.

Add Simon Hunt's to the list of post-election poems on The New Verse News:

I particularly like the pun on "state of bluest blue."

I like that pun too, Susan--thanks for posting.

And thanks for your support, Mike and Cathy. It really is a long road ahead, though today (a well-attended anti-hatred rally at my university) felt like a promising signpost.
