Bobcats and Poetry

A few select birds are singing, snow is melting, and male animals are wandering around in a daze. All signs of Spring! In fact, there was a massive bobcat behind the house a week ago...it was at least 50 lbs. and was as tall as my 70 pound dog. Speaking of dog, here she is! Her name is Bomag.

Frankie, my son, has been sick with a cold for the past week...as have I. He's also cutting molars. Thus, the past eight days have been HELL!

On a happy note, one of my poems, a prose poem called "Monuments," has been accepted for publication in the journal The Fourth River. It will come out in the Fall - finally, an acceptance out of the dozens of rejections. I'll upload it once it's in print...several months from now. I keep trying to publish, though it's very difficult. Funnily, one acceptance makes all the rejections worth it. Go figure?
