Today's poem on Penny's Poetry Blog:
Sonnet 1977, by Will Dockery
>
In 1977 all was fair
that February, walking to the show;
we saw our shadowy kingdom draped in snow
and felt the creativity in the air [..]

Thanks. Not to raise shit here (well, maybe a little ...), but I was
surprised that Will's "Sonnet 1977" and your poem, "Dandelions" - both
poems on which you had an editor (me) working to make sure they were of
high quality, and both of which I thought easily passed the quality bar
to be on PPB - did not make it into YOS.

I thought perhaps Pendragon would at least include "Epiphany", which

Epiphany

Three kings were en route
to see the crying infant
the most mighty God yet.

Night swimmers
on a far away beach
celebrated the Twelfth Night.

Our doors were chalked
as the Doomsday Clock ticked
awaiting the four horsemen.
