Welcome to the summer poetry issue! Remember the saying, “pretty is as pretty does?” Well, dark is as dark does! Ooh, look at the pretty sunset . . . and then up rises a creature from the deep! Ooh, breathe in that warm summer breeze . . . and then you receive a lung-full of toxic spores.
You get my meaning . . .
Please join me in thanking this issue’s poets for sharing their work!
Until next time . . .
Your poetry editor,
Terrie Leigh Relf
