…PAUSE…FOR…BREATH…

I have to take 3 weeks break from the fun and excitement of poetry; returning in mid-October.  Meanwhile I will publish a cluster of cleaves, from submissions so far, on Sunday (28.09.08).

• Please feel free to submit during this time.
• I can NOT promise acknowledgement of receipt of submissions during this time.
• Keep writing those cleave poems.
• On my return I will publish more groundbreaking cleaves.
