Cool site, Phil. I like the layout, the way the current issue is set up as a player. Of course, I maximized it to full screen to enjoy it.

Your entry is right there. The meter matches the subject matter, and I especially like the alliteration in the penultimate and ultimate lines.

The poem itself comes across as "earthy," elemental, equinoctial. I read, cautiously, and my suspicions were confirmed when, at the end, the poem turned eerie: "No child plays here." Great work!

Thanks Tony. Folk tales can pick up the darker threads. The editor puts together themed anthologies too - chance for PMO members to have poems in print!

I have one appearing in the Sept edition - called bed time

Another fine poem which I think is an appropriate selection for this publication. Congrats, Phil!

Note: I realize it's in the same periodical, but I would encourage you to make a new blog entry for each published work. That way it shows up at the top of the blog as the most recent entry and will get more exposure as such. 

Cheers Tony. I'll take your advice...if there is a next time!
