The Lowest Kind of Fable by Lynne Sargent β€” Just Keep Up Magazine

Finally, Poetry!

The Lowest Kind of Fable (19 lines) from @justkeepupmagazine.bsky.social , March 27 2025.

My usual fairy-tale inspired fare. Why might a woman want to be the princess in a fairytale story, even with how poorly they are treated?

Never Level by Nicholas Alti β€” Just Keep Up Magazine

And there’s a new poem!

When I first read Nicholas’ submission, I knew I’d be picking a poem from it. And when I read β€œNever Level” I knew I had to publish it. Few pieces of art have spoken to me as much as this poem does.
