On July 13th, 2018, I reached 78th on the Best New Poems list with this poem you are reading right now. I never thought I'd see the day where one of my poems would finally be on the Best New Poems list.

In the rain, I play the harp
by the higher edge of a scarp
to see the crestfallen town down there
as sunless souls can't sing joy into the air

Miraculous notes pierce the melancholic skies
conquering the storm, in a vortex fading clockwise
restoring bliss to its former glory
in order to happily end this story
