Royal Decree of Poetry
Special Guest – Peter Honig
There are no more poems.
Where these poems come from.
In their day
they were kind of a big deal,
but the Royal Poem Store
is now closed
for business.
All poems
that have been issued
life-time warrantees
are now
officially
NULL & VOID
as the day they were born.
All poetry
Self-consumed
on these premises
is now the property
of the property itself;
a self-composting poem –
its’ own throne.
Long Live the Poem
The poem is DEAD.
About The Author
Stephen Honig
Stephen Honig has been writing fiction and poetry all his life. The sources of his writings are of course his life experiences: growing up in ethnic New York City; attendance at two alleged bastions of Ivy League erudition; a long career in the law with its attendant exposures to people, business and technology; reading everything eclectic along with alleged classics of the Western canon; wide travel including a gig in the USSR in the ‘70s to bring legal briefs to refuseniks; teaching at three colleges and at a law school in Russia; raising two families in very different generations. Now, Honig has completed his first novel, Event, a thriller combining the international espionage style of John Le Carre with the gripping pace of novels by James Patterson.
