Thanks, Pinky! I wrote "Peace in Queues" probably 12 years ago, and totally forgot about it until I was recently digging through my old notebooks looking for the missing pages of my prison "diary." So apparently there is such a thing as reincarnation!

I just noticed two goofs on my bio there - I was a "number one blogger" on MySpace in 2007, not 1997. I don't believe there was a MySpace in 1997 - I was never even on the Internet until 2004. And my featured reading at Mac's Backs was last month. It was next week when we sent them the bio - but I didn't really intend that to be part of the published bio. Since they only reproduced what they were sent, I must accept responsibility for the goofs.

Congratulations! That rocks!
It's been awhile since I've commented, John, but I do stop into your blogosphere now and again to check out what's going on in the world of poets.

I loved this poem, very sweet and melodic and gentle to my untrained ears. I think that everyone would agree with me that this success could not be coming to a more deserving guy. Congratulations.

Thanks! I wrote the poem on 6 October 1996, rediscovered it in December 2008 - guess it proves I still have a few things worth salvaging in my old journals....
Welcome back from the sea!
