Submissions in the Round

Last year I did not submit as many poems to third party sites as I usually do. 

Read Earth Changes II

My 2020 goal for submissions was to be more active. I have great poetry and I would like readers to experience my brand of rhyme, free verse, and metaphor. I have been writing for decades, with many positive reviews and critical acclaim. 

This seasonal cycle, I would like to expand my audience who may think that poetry is not for them. Then, you have not read my poetry. I write scientific, science fiction, imaginative, and emotive based poems that are not difficult to understand, but will leave an indelible mark on the reader.

I am publishing a few established poems that I have placed in my chapbooks on a few forums online. So if you would like to read some of my poems and leave a review, then please subscribe to Undawnted's YouTube Channel.

I also write poetry for a commission. 

Have a great and wonderful day.

Undawnted's YouTube Channel offers poetry shorts to full-fledged poetry feature films in our Poetry Slam section. This new playlist will give you more of the rhymes you crave.

Cover Art Design

Sometimes, I even impress myself... 

I created this art piece for a book I had yet to even think of, so instead of keeping it for myself, I decided to volunteer the cover design for a Sonoran Dawn Studio's anthology.  

If you would like to submit your art or poetry, submissions open on August 1, 2019.

The Open Door: Always Knock Twice
