Letter from Greg Hobbs

Colorado Central – July 2005 – Colorado Central Magazine

Dear Editors,

You have welcomed more letters. I am sure after all the work you writers and editors do to shape up this magazine through the months and years, you like to hear what readers think.

I think the magazine is interesting, provoking, informative, and sometimes delightfullly zany. I always find something to enjoy.

So thanks. I hope the poem below somehow expresses the effort that goes into the mix of light and heat you generate for this community of writers and readers. May it grow in a good way.

Sincerely,

Greg Hobbs

Denver

EMBER MIX

Today’s Colorado Central magazine is half-burned wood

some writer guys have pressed their stubby fingers to,

at best a low grade flame at the bottom of a grate.

A reader with a hand-held bellows is required

to compress the needed aggravating air

into the ember mix.

Greg Hobbs
