The third of my four poems to be accepted by Whispers and Echoes—Inspiration Called Today—is published today.
Inspiration called today.
You were not here,
You’d gone away …
See Whispers and Echoes for the full poem
Inspiration Called Today was written in 2003 and first posted on crimsonprose on 8th December 2012. I posted it again in April 2018. (Yep, I like this poem!)
Whispers and Echoes is an online journal that publishes flash-fiction of up to 100 words, and poems up to 10 lines (excluding blanks); see here to submit. It is chiefly edited by Sammi Cox, well-known and loved for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompts where she punishes us with impossible targets, and thus pushes us through the gates of inspiration.
Earlier issues of Whispers and Echoes can be seen on the Dreaming Spirit website.

Yep. May my words live … until the power runs out or a new techology comes along. Can’t use my floppies any more. The CDs are naff. The DVDs aren’t so great anymore. What happens with cloud dissolves?Homo transient, that’s us. And all the more beautiful for it

Yep. Can’t get rid of poets. Maybe we’ll just have to be Minstrels and sing our way around LOL
