As always, I’m thrilled my work is honored, appreciated, and published.
My tone poem, Lighthouse, appears in the March 2024 issue of Carmina.
There is a great joy when my poetry is published because I in no way consider myself a poet even though I love the form and have studied it often. My first published poem was back in the mid-late 1980s, an ode to Susan (wife/partner/Princess) when we were having some difficulties.
I’ll have to dig it out and see if anyone’s interested in publishing it.
Regarding Lighthouse, it came to me over several days and I wondered what it was about because I wrote it disjointedly and pretty much line by line; a line here, a line there, and often hours or days between scribblings.
In any case, hope you enjoy.
