Three Zumwalt poems were published as featured content today at The Good Men Project: https://goodmenproject.com/featured-content/faceoff-on-facebook/
This is quite an honor to have three lengthy poems of this level of density and abstraction published on a high-traffic site like The Good Men Project. Please visit if you have a minute.
This is a highly visited online publication per Gemini AI: “The Good Men Project: ~2 – 3 Million monthly visitors (varies by source, sometimes listed as 1.9M unique visitors)“
FYI -- the formatting for "roads closed" was lost when posted on their site. UPDATE: Roads closed was removed from their website, requested by me, due to formatting issues. I will post an update when Roads closed is published again.

Thanks! Appreciate the congratulations from such a skilled writer of such an excellent blog! (I am the admin of this site, but will pass that on to Zumwalt.)

Kate,
Thanks! Yes, sorry the formatting wasn’t able to be implemented at the Word Press site for that publisher. They tried, but weren’t able to, possibly due to an old version of the Word Press app.

Eugi,
Thanks for reading! The third poem, “roads closed” didn’t retain its formatting when they published it. I have requested the publisher to remove it, but I have used up its first publication so it will only have future life as a reprint or a blog post. 🙂

Love the hockey vibe in your poems, especially that “Puck Drop” line – what inspired you to use sports as a metaphor? 🏒️

TheDarkDisclosure.online. Thanks! Glad you liked it.
I asked Zumwalt (sorry for the delay) and he indicated it was based on observation of how a few people like to pick fights on FB for the sake of being engaged in conflict. He is not sure why he picked hockey — just sort of happened — maybe because of the joke “Last night, I went to a fight, and a hockey match broke out.”
