The Night I Fell in Love With You
As Published in 'Poetry Leaves'
The moon must’ve thought you were the sun.
It was so dull. Compared to you,
that dusty orb could’ve been anyone.
The moon must’ve thought, “You are the sun!”
and drifted; its pride wounded, stung.
Clearly, you were the preferred view.
It was so dull compared to you;
the moon must’ve thought you were the sun.
It was so dull compared to you;
the moon must’ve thought you were the sun.
I swear, that night its beams withdrew,
it was so dull compared to you.
I inched closer and you burned through
my sensibilities, my lungs…
The moon must’ve thought you were the sun.
It was so dull compared to you.

Karen Akers Uses a Quiet Art to Speak out Loudly
There are several noteworthy poems flitting about among the pages of Karen Ankers's poetry collection, One Word At A Time. Published in 2017 by Tylluan Press, Ankers's book of poems serves as a form of political commentary and is particularly focused on the negative spaces that exist in the gaps of society; those individuals who are homeless, who are forced to beg, individuals who do not have a soapbox available to stand on in order to tell their stories. Indeed, the word "silence" is applied quite a number of times throughout the book. The overall message of the collection is one chastisement, which, in its repetition, can become tedious; but in all fairness, that is rather the purpose of this set of poems. Readers may benefit from declining to diligently read straight through this collection. Rather, they should take their cue from the title and savor these pieces slowly, one word at a time.

BARE HUNTER
CHAPTER 15 I pulled up in front of Sandy’s a little early, so I texted Becca again and left a message for Sharon, hoping she had a good day and I’d see her tomorrow. Two cars pulled into Sandy’s driveway. I don’t know why I was surprised to see another man with her. We’d been apart for two years and I certainly didn’t waste any time getting back on the horse.
