Pedaling in perspiration along
the uphill road to poetry,
you smile in cool complacency,
with the left eyebrow cocked to consonance,
while the sun, and sum, of technical
requirements weighs heavy on your shoulders.
Surely there’s something rattling in your head,
but Fate may one day resolve –
playful, complacent and cool as she is –
to hide from your eyes the on-coming truck
of criticism as you try to cross
over to vanity street and,
Ooops, that must have hurt!
Rise and shine my flat-headed friend!
Quit sprawling on the hot-scented
asphalt of embarrassment;
pick up your pancake head;
wipe the red and move on;
and move on!
The White Gloves

Hi George, my name is Jenna and I am a high school student currently working on a literary arts publication called Aerie International. It's the only publication we know of which publishes photography, artwork, poetry, short nonfiction and fiction for students by students. We take submissions from students aged 13 to 19. We got your name from Tami Haaland and we would be very interested in knowing if perhaps some of your contacts would be interested in submitting any kind of creative art form they so desire. Our website is www.aerieinternational.com, our blog's site is www.aerieinternational.blogspot.com and our e-mail is aerie.international@gmail.com . Feel free to contact us!
