Oberon's Law Fate Uses Hard Those Whose Stories Must Mean Something

Submission Guidelines

General Guidelines:
Writers in all their flavors are invited to submit 3 of their best works for consideration. What is the best, you ask? We like writing of all flavors that tastes like the Fantastic. We care significantly more about the style of the story than how it can be pigeon holed.  However, there should be elements of Speculative Fiction in each work.
Fiction short, shorter, shortest (5,000 to 50 words generally speaking). Poetry of any length (though Beowulf-long is a little bit much). We will consider also longer works for serial publication (send Kester an e-mail first, though)
When in doubt-send it over!
Send to: Submissions@OberonsLaw.com

inkscrawl is a new online literary magazine devoted to minimalistic speculative poetry.

-SUBMISSION GUIDELINES-
-WHAT WE WANT-

inkscrawl is seeking the finest fantastical short poetry — 10 lines or fewer. We are looking for poetry rooted in myth, folklore, surrealism, and magical realism. We prefer poems which possess emotional depth, lyricism and strong imagery. However, we are not interested in science fiction poetry or overtly horrific horror verse.

As we are a minimalist journal, we will only consider poetry of 10 lines or fewer. Within this length restriction, we are open to all forms; rhyme, though, is not encouraged. We welcome short forms, such as the haiku and cinquain, as well as experimental and prose poetry.


-READING PERIODS-

June 23rd - August 21st
September 23rd - November 21st
December 23rd - February 21st
March 23rd - May 21st


-HOW TO SUBMIT-

Our editorial address is poetry at inkscrawl dot net. Please include SUBMISSION: Poet's name in the subject line. We would prefer to receive all poetry pasted in the body of the email, but if your poetry has special formatting, we will accept attachments of .doc, .docx, or .rtf. A brief cover letter should be included with submissions. Please limit the number of poems to five per submission. No unsolicited reprints, no simultaneous submissions. We will make every endeavor to respond within five weeks. If you have not heard from us after five weeks have passed, please query.


-PAYMENT-

Payment is $2 per original poem upon publication by PayPal or check.


-RIGHTS-

PD Lyons Poetry Project

God Lights a Cigarette
On the wood, shadows. Down the
windows, hazy through the drapes
spills the rain. The night,
curving rolling with motion still
whispers with winters needley lips:
everything is passing through me.
There is you with your joy – me,
I’m trying to find depressions,
though I’m not sure what I feel.
You are magic mingling essences –
I am day dreaming on physical matters…
my lamp flickers with distress,
it moves the room with my voice:
help me
I’m drowning,
       suffocating,
       breathless…
             *
To be born of your music,
in your magic my life blooms,
my thoughts, words – dissolve into
rich emotions tuned to immortality.
Lost in the lighting of a match,
in between the space and flame –
I become the sparkle in your eyes,
then I return…
Slowly I am returned,
I am the gold ring in your ear -
the unnoticed sensation.
You are cosmic and I am waiting
for the next match.
