Congratulations to editor Kristiana on the publication of Issue X of Free Verse Revolution, Oleander. It is an honour to have my poem, The Distaff Side, included in this issue. I am in the company of many talented authors, and the issue looks absolutely beautiful, as always. It is available as a digital download, or in print from the Lulu Bookstore. Here’s a taster of my poem:
Walking in
Memphis in June
Nubian Queen
sweet oleander
Cleopatra’s
Needle weaves a tapestry
throughout the cloth of ages:
strong women
Patti
Carole
Nina
shine bright through these sounds and light
this woven cloth
these printed pages...
And here’s one of the songs which inspired the poem:
What a lovely Sunday: first Selma Martin’s No.1 achievement, now this! Now time to relax a little and celebrate…
