Ode to the Blue Room
Happy to report on another new poem of mine published - “Ode to the Blue Room” - featured in the latest One Sentence Poems (Right Hand Pointing poetry journal). This piece follow a distinct Nashville vibe but riffs off some other things, as well. And, yes it's one sentence. Hope you enjoy it, Doug. http://www.onesentencepoems.com/osp/doug-hoekstra-ode-to-the-blue-room/
Buk
Hot off the presses, a new poem of mine titled “Buk," appearing in the June edition of Better than Starbucks – an online/print poetry journal, full of "great books, sharp wit, and great authors." Enjoy! https://www.betterthanstarbucks.org/poetry-free-verse
The Teeterboard
Happy to share a new piece, “The Teeterboard," published up at Feminine Collective, a journal in which “powerful women” (and a few good men) share their inspiring stories of daily life….humanity, raw, and unfiltered. Glad to have another one up at FC. Check it out and enjoy. http://www.femininecollective.com/the-teeterboard/
