The simplification of a traffic jam
In an office
Finish print job
And release document to document owner
Mail fraud in possession of access
Whom accessed file of document owner wrong
Is in hearing
No hearing of printer job
No crime in owning document
Homekey fraud
Interpreted in California as economy
Unemployed printers?
City does and does not operate hotels
Business transacts in appropriation of funds
and ink press powers
In time observation
Of collection is willing
Thank you again for sharing your feedback and helping us shape California's future.
Sincerely,
Governor Gavin Newsom
Obstructing journalism
Very literal
The homeless point at and time move
Down generation gymnastic snatch skills
Front lines of tinder relocate shift reward visuals
Out the house dodge
Grades good bye byes
Some of you are concerned so very sweet
You notice when I DON’T write poetry
Let me assure you all is fuschia fine
Waiting on inspiration to temp my mind
Also I am still learning to play piano
It’s grueling like dueling with my soul
I’m also judging a poetry contest here
Loving your entries you’re all such a dear
I started my own thing it is my dream
My small business called Kandle Publishing
You know me by my given name at birth
But Kandle Jones my pen name I prefer
So I have my fingers in a few life pies
Sooner or later my poetry juices will arrive
Anyone publish a Poetry Soup e-book? :-D
folks can purchase to read on their NOOK?
Is that allowed? To re-publish what's here?
Don't want to break rules. Wanna be clear.
Read I what he published;
The sound ideas relished'
"When one is the vanquished
A thing is relinquished
He's still The Distinguished;
But might feel extinguished"
But why would a writer
Self publish and lighter
Make what's not for Blighter,
Even if The Brighter...
And he tries too posters,
The printing of Rosters,
From time to time Fliers
For sincere liars...
God saw His Job as good
Not us dust like mere wood.
I have news that is sure to impress.
My new book will be… published —no less!
Let’s break out the champagne,
raise a toast to my brain…
No-o-o-o! I checked. It’s a vanity press.
The Better Man
by Michael R. Burch
Dear Ed: I don’t understand why
you will publish this other guy—
when I’m brilliant, devoted,
one hell of a poet!
Yet you publish Anonymous. Fie!
Fie! A pox on your head if you favor
this poet who’s dubious, unsavor
y, inconsistent in texts,
no address (I checked!):
since he’s plagiarized Unknown, I’ll wager!
Let me drape upon you a written robe,
beautifully indexed on your tablet.
My! you look divine,
off we go to dine on literary flavours and liquid verse.
A five chapter meal we just published.
This evening with you was a stunning essay read like a swift summary.
Narrating your life’s novel,
I record and archive,
citing the volume of your smile,
punctuating the exclamation of your eyes.
May I undress you with my pen,
printing kisses on your pamphlet lips.
Nonfiction foreplay is the order of the day
with teasing stanzas and touching tomes.
Your skin the clear scroll,
we edit with rhetoric as I explore the fiction of your passage.
The lexicon of your moans, would a fine manuscript make.
This plot you will review then quote.
You descend from that last paragraph,
this memory shelved high in your canon.
My pen has woven for you a silk word blanket;
as you lay on my journal pillow;
wrapping you in the epigraph of my affection.
Self-publishing of your books?
They really are a bunch of crooks,
They have you think your approaching wealth,
But all you’ve done is fill your shelf
So keep your cash in your pants,
(If an offers real, they’ll pay an advance,)
Why taste the crafty self-publishing honey?
To get in print, takes more than money
About tattered wings-This haiku is published in haiku journal
Publishing Under a Fake Name
By Elton Camp
If it’s airs that the writer really wants to assume,
He can call his phony name a “nom de plume”
Although less presumptuous & means the same
Is the simple use of the expression “pen name”
But the thing that’s particularly puzzling to me
Is why writers don’t want folks their name to see
After, to think and choose words, people have striven
Credit for their writing they should want to be given
If another their hard work should try to plagiarize,
They would likely react with both anger & surprise
“Why that writing was what was done only by me.
How you dare to steal it is just more than I can see.”
So why on earth would any writer want to try
To give credit to a foolish name like “Poet Guy?”
If a write is littered with many an obscene word
One might well prefer that his name not be heard
Certainly, if I wrote something of which I’m ashamed
It would make sense that I wouldn’t want to be named
But a write that’s humorous of one of serious intent
To hide one’s name I can see no sensible argument
Early in the morning, when I went down stairs,
As normal, I switched on the television. And
It was shocked to hear, John Pope!! Died,
I rushed to write a poem to present him.
Doesn’t matter what was his religion,
He was a man of courage that appealed me,
What was his idea about homosexuality?
It wasn’t so important to condemn a personality.
As he dared in his life to promote and devalued,
Human values and re-established human dignity,
Established relations and guidance for younger,
A Phenomenon for living was my personal motive.
I rang to my publisher and asked to change a title,
‘You Know’ it was selected by me a new publishing,
Please change my title as ‘A Symbol of Unity’
What is in your mind? She mentioned to me.
Hopefully, a symbol of unity may be out on 5 July,
I know, I have strong argument at home, my family,
Accepting me as I work normal time as others,
They are worry about my loans that I spend.
