    Startling. Great contrast between human body and constructions. And beautiful.

    Ah, OK. They have to be this good…
    Forget my question over at FB. I’m going to do my utmost to participate. Sounds like it’ll be fun. Must get unpacked first, though.

    You are so cute to check e-mail and blogs and stuff before unpacking.

    (Oh, and also: And I can’t wait to see what you submit.)

    The poetry is solid. The picture works perfectly. I especially enjoyed the juxtaposition between the solid structure and the graffiti, and a poem with lovely words that was actually saying something sexually provocative.

    Great job.

    Interesting, but with the theme based around the idea of the images being “postal,” have you an address for viewers/contributors to mail submissions to?

  13. postalpoetry says:


    Mark, we sure do. Just shoot us an email and we’ll send you the address.
