Talisman
A humming bird
A peaceful garden
The evening sun lingers
Red, golden, unwilling to set
Time seems to stop
This moment
Will be
A talisman
Hanging in my heart
Warming me
When winter’s fist
Is closed.

The Blurb:
Welcome to the world of Shakespeare Goes Punk, where the Bard is remixed and nothing is sacred. Our fearless writers are back by popular demand to give you a ride on the punk train.
Five punked-up tales and three sonnets inspired by Shakespeare. All profits to charity.

Sounds like an intriguing mix of creativity! Along the way, there’ll be some great authors and contributors, some giveaways, and some fun people talking about the Writerpunk project. I will also be participating from 12:00 to 1:00 PST and giving away signed copies of Huw the Bard and Tower of Bones to some lucky winner.
