We delayed the launch of the November issue of AsininePoetry.com (yeah, like you even noticed!) till the Friday after the election — so we could feature some poems about the beginning of a great era of change. Or the certain end of the world. We got lucky. This time.
The latest ditties:
“The Polls” by Scott Emmons
“Last Call on Wall Street” by Richard Cairo
“Countdown” by Gene Tashoff
“Fortune Cookie Fortunes” by Elizabeth Swados
“Real Estate of Mind” by Moody Potomac
“Houses” by Marina Jane
“My Cat Fetches” by P-Woody
“My Cat Felches” by V.S. Frimmit
“Snookers” by Natalie M. Dorfeld, PhD
“Dear Johnny, Part 5″ by Casey
Only the first two poems ended up having any sense of timeliness. But several poems were about real estate, even though none of them even tangentially addressed the mortgage crisis. Sigh.
