been playing around with a new form I call the Cosmos after the flower. 16 syllables mostly but not always 4 syllables on four lines. This one was fun.

Folk that know me also know that for many decades I have owned over 30 copies of “Sara Smile” by Hall & Oates. Totally coincidentally this is my most published poem.

I lived in the DMV for 19 years. The Golden Triangle haiku contest is the only contest I’ve ever entered. Getting in was a bucket list item for me. Got in last year. Didn’t get in this year. BUT my boy Kenneth Carroll did! Boom shaka-laka!

Let’s talk about the hyperpoem—not just the host poem or the ghost poem (sweet potatoes /the musk of a beloved / rosary or recipe) or even the “periodic” references (ice & mdnite), but the hyperpoem as an ache above paraphrase. The subject of this hyperpoem is the idea of blackness, or is it?

Yeah, but I would be remiss if I didnt point out this direct precursor to the Golden Shovel by Evie Shockley. Hayes poem is actually a fresh take on her use of the Quotilla. He just moves the borrowed line to the end of the line.
