Thank you, Reid :)

My @sadeebee.bsky.social inspired ekphrastic prose poem is live in @sonicboomjournal.bsky.social! Check out the full issue here:

A visual poetry piece combining a painting and a micropoem. The artwork is a doodle-like low-detail border-only map of the world, the outlines of the major land masses are made up with various shades of red blots. All edges of the artwork are deep red, as if soaked in blood. The micropoem reads: jigsaw to death a family game

A visual poetry piece published in the latest issue of @sonicboomjournal.bsky.social.

Thanks a ton to Shloka & Raghav for publishing this.

Creating this piece was cathartic in many ways. And to have 'some' audience to it is a compensatory balm for the angst the truth of the matter causes me.

Thank you for sharing :)

An abstract visual poetry piece in black and white. There are textures of white and black. There are harsh whites and harsh blacks, as if this is a stone wall caught at the moment of a lightning flash. The poem reads: cave painting the nuclear fallout

Another visual poetry piece in the latest issue of @sonicboomjournal.bsky.social.

Realising that both my selected pieces are dire perspectives of the state of the world. They can be paired together.

@sonicboomjournal.bsky.social and @whiptailjournal.bsky.social both publish some of the best shortform poetry, freeing trad forms from stuffiness and reminding us less is more.

"In Concert" is a multi-haiku experiment by Kat Lehmann that explores classic kigo (season words). The multi-ku is a winner of the 2024 Trailblazer Contest.

My multi-ku (multi-#haiku) experiment "In Concert," which is a winner of the 2024 Trailblazer Contest. The piece became an exploration of classic kigo (season words) and can be read multiple ways.
