An American Apocalypse

The first two sections of this poem were poems originally published here contemporaneously with their writing. The second, “An Ameican’s Suite, was first published here in March of 2003, and won the contest: https://web.archive.org/web/200304252
912/http://thepoeticlink.com/pl/winners.php3?display_year_month=2003-03 I would publish this poem as a text here were it not that the formatting has been destroyed by the weeds which have overrun the site. This place was once so vibrant and alive. Perhaps someday again . . .  Anyway, here is the poem, where it now appears on my Wordpress site: https://ruinedchoir.wordpress.com/2021/04/10/an-american-apocalypse/ I still have 94 credits to post poems here, which have about as much value as the coins of ancient Rome. May as spend some of it, and maybe this small investment can grow and help bring this place back . . .  Anyway, if any of my old friend happen to get nostalgic and take a look, and find this: miss you (Dixon, Hislop, Wright, Horak, Anctil, Uppendahl, Tate, Roni, Sarah . . .  I hope ya all are covered by the LORD and don’t appear naked when the Day comes.  God Bless, MSS
