At The 5-2: "Also a Friend" by Heidi Kraay

This week's poem was inspired by the assassination attempt on Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

I'm currently seeking participants for this year's 30 Days of The 5-2 April blog tour. I'm also seeking poems about fooling or being fooled for publication at The 5-2 in April, National Poetry Month. The deadline is February 28, 2012.

Finally, if you're a fan of horror or poetry, consider Kickstarting 5-2 alum Michael Arnzen's Fridge of the Damned magnetic horror poetry kit, which currently needs $138 to be funded by February 1. There are rewards for even a $1 donation.
