After Kilroy
**********************
Nobody said it had to be a GOOD poem a day. Here’s one for Susan’s perfectly great prompt on With Real Toads to write a poem you imagine as grafitti. Process note– some refer to B.C. as B.C.E. (“Before Common Era.”)

Can’t get more authentic than this, Karin.
The poetry lies in the intention to reach a mind with a new way of looking at an old contention and I think you have achieved that with great impact here.

I love that you were able to combine your words and drawings together into one idiosyncratic whole–the King is dead, long live the King? Or maybe all our constructs put together die and are reborn and are epitaphed in scratches and signs. Enjoyed it much, Karin.

this piece exemplifies your quirky wit, which I have come to expect and love about your poetry. here are politics, religion, and pop culture mixed in to one ( i read each illustrated square as a stanza) poem. … these are certain requirements of graffiti, I think.

Ha. Thanks, Jane. They are meant to be separate stanzas and not poems.
Many many many many congrats on your new arrival! So wonderful! Take care, k.

Great puns and wordplay. Worth doing and worth reading. A pleasing teasing for what’s left of my mind!
