What is in a name?
Humans will judge anything
who chose the label?

Giggles on the breeze
They watch their kites soar higher
with chimes of laughter

The plastic houseplants
Are they happy in beauty
do they long for growth?

The grass knows all our secrets
It waves a warning

Pricked from an unruly plant

Mystery of spring
When will the blossoms emerge
Where is the sun’s warmth
In honor of April being National Poetry Month, I have an exciting announcement regarding the poetry-themed literary journal I run! Starting in April, Ephemeral Elegies will be expanding to two poems weekly! Stay tuned for poems coming every Monday and Thursday, and feel free to head over to the site and subscribe for free to get poetry delivered directly to you twice a week.
Whether you’re a new, emerging, or established poet, we’d love to give you a chance at getting your work out into the world. Visit the Ephemeral Elegies Submission Page for more details about how you can be featured! This has been a huge labor of love over the years. I started this project at the start of 2020 with no idea about the upcoming pandemic and need for virtual catharsis. Through the years, we’ve grown and evolved, and it’s been so incredibly rewarding to connect with poets from all over the world.
-Tiffany Renee Harmon, Editor-in-Chief of Ephemeral Elegies

If you’re a new and aspiring poet, submissions are always open. Learn more about the submission guidelines here!
Thanks for reading ,
