I write and publish poetry in magazines, books, and as NFTs. I prefer writing word-unit palindrome poems when I can get away with it, or short poems on AI-generated backgrounds. I am currently working on this book : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DM2Q6DL9

Here's another word-unit palindrome poem. Read it backwards and forwards, word-by-word, first down both columns then up both columns. It will appear in this book, which is available for pre-order : www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

I've created an interactive video using a framework by my friend Noah Pred (who unfortunately is not on bluesky) to display my word-unit palindrome poem "The Gnomon Circles." Change how the poem is presented as the video plays here : oddwritings.com/mindspillage...

You Will Be Told

Niagara falls
and then
the crutches come
uninvited

"you need these."

medals or souvenirs
lest we
forget

and yet
they're the ones now
who rest
uselessly
upstairs

The Missing

there is a man writes paragraphs
farming stones
while a second gazes
weeping
and a third plucks them
into pockets
for billiards

Swimming pool

Poem titled “Swimming pool” with the text: The kicker froths the green water Drumming a heartbeat With his feet The sun lights half The room and seems To intensify the smell Of chlorine but that’s Probably not true The legs of my chair are rusted A baby pulls at the water’s surface And here he comes again the swimmer With the Speedo and the foaming toes I sit and wait for Aphrodite To be born

the mountains fold
and we do not
notice

the mountains will fold
yet still we will not
notice

the undead

The Unremarkable

who taught the eagle in its nest
to try on the kingdom of the crow?
to fly with a fettle uncompressed
by cry of the groundlings down below?

who sought the wisdom of the west
to spy out the oriental glow?
to pry into peacock palimpsest... etc. (no more room)

Be careful
In the heat, my #sweet
Don’t let
Your chocolate melt

For if it did
I’d grieve to lose
A taste so smooth
And svelte

Pray your sweetness
Never leaves you
And that,
You don’t leave me

But rarely e’er
I get my way
So guess
We’ll wait and see…😉

My latest Substack post is about the World War II British Officer Brigadier Michael Calvert. He features in my latest novel which I'm currently querying. If anyone from the Writing Community or Independent Company has any suggestions for a good home!

A picture of a young army officer in formal military uniform. He has four stars on the epaulettes on his shoulders and his tie is neatly made. He is clean shaven but for a clipped moustache. His hair is short and pomaded in some kind of wax. He is looking beyond the camera with an inscrutable, fixed expression.
