poems

In its 1/28/22 issue, Orangevale View published my poems “Ho Ho Ho” and “Anagram for Minutes” on pages 9 and 19.

I’ll post the link to the issue when OV View posts it online.

“Ho Ho Ho” and “Anagram for Minutes” can also be found in this blog via the following links:

Maybe ho ho ho was said to Scrooge in the form of ghost ghost ghosts, echoes showing what went, what goes,

and

An anagram for minutes? i am nuts.

When I submitted these 2 poems for OV View earlier this month (January), I thought that submitting them at the time that I did may have been 1 month too late and 2 months too late for publication. I was proven wrong. So if you ever feel like you might be too late, maybe there’s still a chance that that is not really the case.

For a list of my other poems that OV View published and for lists of my poems that are published submissions outside of Orangevale View, they can be found (at my other blog) via the following link:

Voodoo Maker, Dark Mermaid, Small Cube of Cheese, Spiderweb, and The 13th Month

are the titles of five of my poems that I posted over at my other blog When Deadlines Become Zombies (that can be found via link https://zfthrimej.wordpress.com ). For some reason when I try to search for them online, the results are not leading to these five (at least not yet).

So in an effort to improve their chances of being found and hopefully perused, i’m posting links to these five poems after their titles. Here they are:

After 11 and a half years of writing newspaper poems and after a little more than 3 years of writing them for the Orangevale View, I have to at least take a break from creating new ones.

For everyone who’s supported my poetry, thank you. You gave more than I anticipated, and I appreciate this a lot. For anyone who may be interested or new to my works,

info about them can be found on my website at http://zfthrimej.wordpress.com .

Thanks for listening,

Z.F. Thrimej

Relating to Easter and April Fools’ Day, and over at my other blog, I posted a list of my poetry submissions that got published.

That post is also self-promotion (because at this moment I feel shameless). For those who are interested, you can check out the list via the following link:

That blog can be found via the following link: http://zfthrimej.wordpress.com . For anyone who may be interested, check it out.

Mindful like an owl, like a tiger that can growl, hushed like silent vowel, this cat’s resting (before a prowl?).
