magicicada | my assault against canada

ok, i'm trying to be really careful about not mucking up first publication rights with public poetry postings, but i have to share a snippet of the poem i sent to canada. i was having a bit of writer's block so i decided to look for magazines with themes and see what i could come up with. Descant is looking for poems about venice. i'm not sure i am coming from the angle they are expecting:

The Venusians VS Venice

"...velvet-draped vestibules
Virtually violated by this
Viking of vacuum.
His vicious vassals
Vacillating not-at-all
In their vanquishment
of vintage canals and
Vertiginous statuary..."

ahem. now to do research on who to send this to after descant rejects it ;)
