Robert Stoner Jr Poems

First traditionally published poem

Blog Posted by Robert Stoner Jr: 10/13/2015 5:06:00 PM

I wrote a poem "Sealed,Steadfast and Resolute" on 10/5/15. It was a personification form about a safe which I posted on the Soup and sumitted to a publication Safe&Vault Tecnology, Madison Miles Media. Lo and behold it was accepted and will be published in the next issue. Woo Hoo! The wheels keep turning. I have my first book signing event Nov 20 in downtown Tarpon Springs, Florida during a preholiday event, offering my recent series ,The Little Gray Squirrel, that should be fun. :o)

Meantime, I'll go and read your poetry page soon if you don't mind (i'll try to find time) although I might not have time to leave comment in each. Thank you so much in advance! More power and blessings! love lots and big hugs, Leonora
