ONE ART Poems in Verse Daily

~ ONE ART ~ 3 Comments

I’ve been a longtime fan of Verse Daily. Since the early days of ONE ART, it’s been a bucket list item of mine, so to speak, to see poems from ONE ART appear in Verse Daily.

To my surprise and delight, this goal had already been achieved well before I became aware of it.

When I was informed that Kim Addonizio’s poem ‘Eschatology’ would appear in Verse Daily, I decided to check to see if any other poems, by chance, previously appeared. As it turned out— there were several!

Today, checking again, much to my delight, I discovered Cindy King’s poem ‘Hysterical’!

What follows is the list of poems (to the best of my knowledge) that first published in ONE ART and then were republished in Verse Daily. Much thanks to J.P. Dancing Bear (and the Verse Daily team) for giving these poems a well-deserved larger platform.

for luck: an Arkansas Sonnet

There is no new weather here /so close to the well of being
wasp in the lampstand tick in the beard /moon visible day and night
but I’m grateful for azaleas /coming back grateful for muck boots
for folks who fix things/ for hummingbirds’ full feeders
and dead carpenter ants for gardens and hoes and summer
tomatoes above all grateful for /walking the train tracks
with two new pennies/ you and me looking for luck.
