Here are two of my instrumentals - both with that great Spanish style of guitar. Let me know what you think. They are from recent CD's of mine.

Poems written late in June 2012

These are more esoteric than most recent ones I've written.

Comments welcome.

POEMS

1.

I see the Moon

in my soup bowl

stir, stir, stir, but

it won't mix in!

2.. [From a poem collection on a mystical place called Blue Mountain]

We think there's a madman (?) that roams the mountain

and wears a blue cloak to hide in it's rocks.

that spins his edicts on cloud…

Day 6 this way!…

I got a bunch of new zines in the mail today to read!! 

And I have been writing a lot the last few days, for two different zines I'm writing, Bookstore Thief #2 and a so-far-untitled zine that will be interesting tidbits about all the places I've lived.  Or maybe part 1 of all the places, as there are a lot. 

I sent off a piece for a friend's zine that's all about zombies.

Tuesday I ordered a headset with mic from Amazon, as I've decided I want to start doing my own…

I haven't made it to any zine fests yet, so it's cool to have a kind of virtual zine fest going on for a month. As of 7/1 I've been checking in here several times a day instead of just once a week or so. I also submitted a couple of orders to distros I haven't ordered from before (Desert City Death Distro and Things You Say Distro.) My zines are pretty well organized, so I just dug into my zines for the reads yesterday.

Today I'm apparently doing a 24 hour zine. Because I said so.…

Our featured item of the month is the brand new zine from Olympia writer Alicia LeDuc. It's called Bravery on a Bus and is about her travels and work in Tanzania. Highly recommended!…

This is a good time to share with you this post I did in 2009 on my blog.

I am currently working on a zine right now, as most of you are, and this is something I wrote in the midlst of a zine making marathon:

what makes a zinester…

Day 3 this…

You can find my post on my blog Ponyboy Press.

Thanks for checking it out.

I'm caught up listening to Alex and Derek's Nobody Cares About Your Stupid Zine podcast and so I'm participating in International Zine Month.  Yesterday I ordered zines from 3 distros I hadn't before, and today I've put together pkgs to send my zines to 4 different distros!

Day 2 this way!

Here are two recent kids poems of mine that I’ll collectively call a ‘Tension Twosome’. (For more such kids poetry see my book “Moon Tea”)

SHOT OUT OF A CANNON

She is the woman

shot out of a cannon

that never came down

that never came down



it’s very uncommon

but life goes on and

crowds shift about

crowds shift about



tension smacks the atmosphere

a little bit here a little bit there

‘seems not right that she’d disappear’……
