Poets: Welcome to My Plog
It started as a blog, but the poet took charge. So, now, it’s a plog.
Poem's spark, they nudge,
Kindling words and warming hearts,
Soothing grief that rips and scars.
Grounding thoughts on gentle taps.
Tapping thoughts planted deep and firm
On public bookshelves where all can learn.
Stretching pasts into unseen futures,
Blooming words into infinite stories.
Storied shores beacon-lit,
Inviting sailors of foreign drift,
Pointing spirits home through shared sight,
Blinking welcome eyes in darkest nights.
Something’s Coming
April 1. No joke.
A monthly poetry prize is launching here at TheOtherKLM.com. A new challenge will be posted on the first of each month.
If you’re thinking of entering, spend some time with the poems on this site. Get a feel for the rhythm, the restraint, the risks.
More details soon.

Resources for Poets
Whether you’re just starting or returning to the craft, poets benefit from strong resources. Explore online workshops, curated prompts, and tips for revision. Sites like AllPoetry and Duotrope connect poets with contests and publication opportunities. A little guidance can unlock powerful lines waiting to be written.
What You Will Find Here
This site is where I record and reflect on what’s on my mind. I write poems, experiment with words and form, share ideas, and try to make sense of things through language. If someone else connects with any of it, that’s a quiet kind of gift. I’m just doing my best to keep showing up with words.
