Time and Space Are Dark Grey Clouds
Time and space are dark grey clouds
Across a bright blue sky.
Our love dwells where blue shades off
To violet and stars.
I miss your voice, your kiss, your touch;
You I hold inside.
We share one hope, one inward smile
No matter where we are.
High above both time and space
Our love's a single bird
Rolling down a blue incline
Then soaring past our dreams. |

| Great suggestions. Wish more petory editors followed them. Increasingly, it seems, many editors of petory journals act as if they are doing poets a favor by existing. Their pomposity and rudeness can be overbearing at times. I NEVER send to a publication that charges to read a writer's work. I realize it may be financially difficult to produce a journal, but I think charging to consider a writer's work is to ignore the fact that most writers cannot live from their work and few are independently wealthy. I also have a few other ideas about what makes a good editor. One of these is not simply accepting work because the person submitting is a friend. In the 1960s I founded and co-edited a bilingual literary journal called EL CORNO EMPLUMADO / THE PLUMED HORN. It published punctually every three months for more than eight years. My goal was to put out what I considered the most exciting work I could. People were often astonished when I didn't accept poems from a friend simply because he/she was a friend. The journal's overall offering was sacred to me. I wanted it to be the best it could be. When I go back and reread those old issues, I no longer like all the work. But I still have the sense that we were producing the very best journal possible at the time. |
