earth angle

we’re on an angle here folks
whether you’re north or south
a peak happened yesterday - 21 June
not a moment too soon

you could tell by the moon
the slant of the sun
or a shadow on the wall
what season’s begun

which one we’ve lost
and has started to run us
all the way back
the other way
from which we’ve just come

or do you live in a cave maybe
and see in the dark
with eyes in your butt?
if so, how's your wireless?

Jack,

I am not sure if you are aware of Narrative Magazine? They are a prize-winning, online, literary journal. They are currently holding three contests (one which may be of more interest to you): First Annual Poetry Contest, Spring 2009 Story Contest and Narrative Prize. You can check their website http://narrativemagazine.com for more details. Oh! And cash prizes are involved, as well.

Good Luck,
Natalie
