KN Magazine: Poetry
MORE THAN YOU BARGAINED FOR
In More Than You Bargained For, John Grey transforms the classic haunted house into a chilling sonnet of gothic humor and macabre beauty. Ghosts, nuns, barons, and murdered minions all inhabit this centuries-old mansion, where the true price of ownership is far more than anyone could have imagined. A sharp, rhythmic reminder that in real estate—and in life—location isn’t everything.
AVOID THE TREES
In Avoid the Trees, Al Baron delivers a striking poem of observation and memory. Through eucalyptus trees, smoke, and the weight of aftermath, the poem confronts both imagination and reality—reminding us it’s sometimes safer to turn away than to face what remains.
YOU’RE JUST A PHOTOGRAPH AFTER ALL
In You’re Just a Photograph After All by John Grey, a haunting image comes alive in memory. The poem explores grief, intimacy, and the unsettling persistence of presence after death.
Unfinished Exit
Claudia Wysocky’s poem Unfinished Exit explores themes of loss, absence, and the search for closure through vivid, haunting imagery. With emotional honesty, the poem reflects on the missing, the unfinished stories, and the hope that words offer for healing and understanding.
Ghosts of the Past
A haunting and lyrical meditation on memory, grief, and emotional entrapment, Ghosts of the Past explores the internal battle of burying pain while being buried by it. With stark imagery and symbolic resonance, this poem digs deep into the soil of loss.
