Ello

Notty Bumbo (@notumbo)

Artist, writer, poet, photo-impressionist, raconteur, detective of life and love. Now on the North Mendocino Coast, Earth. Collaborator-at-large, small, and interwoven with the cosmic background. Intolerant of intolerance and Repugnicants - all of them. Just fine with sarcasm. Oh - and I block people who don't post real stuff, Ello is about creativity - don't be a poseur non-poster.

Broken Mirror

Notty Bumbo, 2018

Narcissus languishes on the beach,
Not another soul in sight.
He cannot abide such an affront,
Wanders toward town in dwindlin...

In normal times, art would save us. These are not normal times, and art is barely trying.

As though your eyes always contain the truth.

Just had a piece accepted to an anthology, and it was just reviewed quite nicely.
