Two Poems by William Doreski
Dinosaur Pants William Doreski
Put on these pants, run your hands down your thighs. Like the scales? Wearing dinosaur pants honors
the common pool of DNA from which all poetics derive. (more…)

Consequences of Detachment K. G. Newman
Dinos didn’t read, and now they’re extinct.
Imagine yourself as the Bachelor, stoned the entire show.
The inability to speak, text or even email has a tendency to build upon itself:
soon among beautiful women you’ll forget what T-Rex stands for or how to process the extinction of yourself.

Let Me Tell You a Story Laurel Radzieski
It is all about six people who fall in love, all with each other and at the same time.
There are bones involved, marigolds and fat.
By now, three have gotten thinner, though they hide it well. One of the others has invested in a bell.
Another collects rope. The tallest is the first to develop fear.
One of the men turns out not to be.
Two of the women shave…

Yeah, the book elves wound our timer widget up wrong. Submissions open at midnight tonight!
Bombus Press, an online literary and arts magazine, is looking for submissions of poetry, art, and prose, for our seventh issue, Will-o’-the-Wisp!
What is Will-o’-the-Wisp? In its oldest form, it is a bit of friendly fire that appears over bogs and swamps and leads unwary travelers down a sinister path. It is Baba Yaga waiting in her hut on chicken legs or the dance of the Wilis in Giselle. It is myth, magic, and melancholia, but it is also jamming out to Monster Mash in your bedroom at 2 AM.
Poetry: Send up to 5 poems in a single file.
Fiction/CNF: Pieces should be no longer than 5,000 words.
Artwork: Any medium, (painting, illustration, photography, etc.)
We want your hobgoblins, hinkypunks, sprites, pixies, and trolls! Send us your feverish writings that wink in the dark; your wild midnight rides and your conversations with deep waters.
Check out our submissions page on guidelines for what we’re looking for and send in your work to [email protected].
Deadline: October 19th.

Turf War Eric Chiles
His barefoot son came in from the yard crying with red spots across his foot.
That’s how the invasion was discovered. The boy had stepped on an anthill near the swings.
Such an incursion couldn’t be tolerated. Ants have their place, but not where kids play.
But should he carpet bomb the colony with boiling water, or be more diplomatic?
Children need safety, but ants help…
