For today’s Sunday Check Up I am posting a new poem called “Ode to Beauty” in the poetry section. This is a poem that I personally feel is close to my heart and had been thinking about writing for years. I think it turned out pretty well. I also cleaned up all the poetry so that there are not so many line skips that a short poem seems longer. That was really bothering me. The new one is correctly spaced obviously, but older poems that have been corrected are: “My Wet Nurse,” “The Momentary Kiss,” “The Shoelace,” and “Absentee Father or Raised by Wolves.” I am very proud of all of the poems I have up here so I want to make sure they are presented to you correctly. Unfortunately this is the section I have had the most technical problems with.
The maintenance mode is set up on The Kings Crier. This means when you go to www.TheKingsCrier.com you see a fun little message instead of a random internet failure window. yay… But work is going ahead! We are still deciding what should go into the site and what to leave out and what the layout should look like and what colors to use and more and more and more. It is a fun yet tiring process. Also, when we finally have a grand opening for the site I will be holding a CONTEST GIVE AWAY! Promotions are great aren’t they?
Lastly for those who don’t know yet, I have a new satirical essay in The Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/adrian-louis-chandler/my-declaration-against-lethargy_b_1785944.html
