Poems: "Eating Words" & "Counterpoint"

A poem of mine was recently published in Black Fox Literary Magazine. The poem is called "Eating Words." It is an extended metaphor in the form of a menu, playing with food associated words and author names.

You can find that poem, here.
(You can also order a physical copy of the magazine from the site.)

Because I hadn't posted it before, I had another poem published not too long ago, this one in Licton Springs Review. That poem is called "Counterpoint." It is somewhat of a sound collage, employing onomatopoeia and alliteration in a metaphor about the sounds of life.

You can find that poem, here.
