I am honored today to see another one of my poems featured by The Piker Press! Its title is “Lie To Me, But Brightly,” and you can find it at the link below.
Once again, I’m grateful to Editor Sand Pilarski for allowing me to share my work with the readers of this superb weekly online journal of literature, arts and sciences.
“Lie To Me, But Brightly,” by Eric Robert Nolan

I’m just weird and old.
Rich in slippers, though — so I got that goin’ for me.
So much depends on it.

This was a Christmas present from a very dear friend. She told me it reminded her of the pictures I typically bring back from my nature walks.
Very cool, no?
Watercolor and gouache.
Hot damn, did I love getting these from my Dad when I was a little kid. I haven’t seen a box of Cracker Jacks since then — though the Internet informs me that they are still sold in abundance. (It seems to me that a box of the classic treats would pale in comparison to those giant tins of caramel corn that you can buy at Walmart or Costco around Christmastime.)
Anyway, I was joking on Facebook yesterday that I needed to run out and buy a box, because I heard that the prize inside was the Medal of Freedom.
