A bit of a pothole ... I was already to send out to Cimarron Review

http://cimarronreview.okstate.edu/

until I really looked close to what type of "poem" (I use that word loosely) they highlight on their website. I mean ... most of my stuff is lighter verse, but it is better than that crap! Still ... if I find something suitable ***gag*** I will offer it to them. What is this idea that poetry must have a never-ending narrative or be prose? I mean ... I write prose-poems, but at least I use poetic devices. I don't call my short stories or flash fiction poems; although truthfully, even they use more poetic devices than what I read at Cimarron on-line.

So ... anyone wanna send some light humorous stuff to Capper's?

http://www.cappers.com

It reaches 240,000 families in rural America. Ima gonna check it out! My poems for Gary's son might just do the trick. As for the poems I had chosen for Cimarron ... I need to find out more about a Western Oklahoma magazine called Westview (no web link) or an on-line mag out of Cameron University in Lawton, Oklahoma Oklahoma Review

http://www.cameron.edu/okreview/vol7_1/poems-3-4.html

. "When he knocks" by Taylor Collier is an awesome poem! These places may do ...

ME:

Hokay-dokay. I found a persimmon on the ground under my fav tree. No seeds ... a bonus! Leaves around here are finally turning. We've had a light frost but no freeze yet.

Bought 4 children's books and 2 cds from my friends, Debbie Duvall and Murv Jacobs. (signed, of course). They were up from Tahlequah, Oklahoma to give readings of their new book, Rabbit goes to Kansas

(there should be audio on this cyber-book link). Had a great time just hanging with them. Saw Eddy Glenn too! Apparently he is now living in Lawrence.

I would move back to Tahlequah in a heartbeat. It is a very healing place. Maybe Montana spring thru football season and Oklahoma in the winter (Kansas to and fro?) would work out.

WRITING:

I have these things to work on:

a boy-ninja Halloween poem;

"of fingers fame, what's his name?" overheard at the football game today;

something about 'it's noon and the morning has been properly mourned';

asparin for aspera, the Kansas motto is 'ad astra per aspera' I have this image of a willow tree realizing that its slender branches are of use, even though they aren't strong like the oak's or spreading like the elm, or even mighty like the cottonwood. Asparin is found naturally in willow; aspera = difficulties;

two types of tornadoes: old woman sweeping, dead man walking (Cherokee imagery).

I am overflowing with ideas!

FOOTBALL:

Kansas 76, Nebraska 39. No folks that is not a basketball score. KU had 48 by halftime. It is the most points ever scored on Nebraska in their history. Maybe KU will be ranked top 5? Finally ...



This was taken after one of KU wins in 2005. The goalposts swam after the Nebraska game that year (and Iowa State and Missouri too). Not sure which game this was.


Kansas: 59º and clear skies (except for shreds of cornhusker red)
