SoFloPoJo Issue 14 August 2019
Francine Witte, Editor
If you are poet, prophet, peace loving artist, tolerant, traditional or anarchistic, haiku or epic, and points in between; if your poems sing, shout, whisper, dance, scratch, tickle, trot or crawl; if you value the humane treatment of every creature and the planet on which we dwell, SoFloPoJo seeks your work.

You say your end will come in fire.
I say you have slipped into your mourning song
the way a boyish horseman sinks his heels into the stirrups
and rides out among the thistle
and the stagger-weed, forever —from "Americana" by Joseph Fasano
