Sadly, Poetica has not received a consistent flow of submissions and therefor will have to shut down. I still love poetry, and know many of you do as well, so all poems have now become ungated. Go read something beautiful! Click Here to go to the now free site.

I would have submitted this poem:

Have subscribed to the short story version though, looking forward to receiving it
