J. Stephen Keller, known to his shipmates, and poetry friends as Dunkin hails from Lorain, Ohio where he lives with his wife Jill, their cat Miss T, and various tropical fish. Winner of the Fourth Warm & Fuzzy Poetry Contest, Dunkin has been published in over 32 different anthologies, and too many online, and hard copy poetry magazines to put here. His work has been compared to Longfellow, and T.S. Elliot, though he denies vehemently ever knowing the two great poets personally.

| After the Monsoon by Dunkin Day light sifted black stars strained as pasta gathered together into one great orb born of hellfire sizzling on earth's edge. After nine months online we were trespassing in God's shadow, leasing a moment as guns yield silence, enjoying the salty peace. Water tickled the ship's side, slapping playfully like children in a pool, nipping at our 18 inch armor. Seagulls slipping along overhead, disdainfully squawking at the tracers in the jungle behind me like protesters at a rally. Soot, like black snow flakes billowed out of our stacks drifting lazily earthward staining the air around us in preparation for departure. Water boiled at the stern churning like a great sea beast about to erupt and breast the surface. The boson's pipe shrilled; “Attention,” before announcing over the loud speaker: “Secure from War.” Email Dunkin at B432508@aol.com |
