‘Roses Are Red’: A Poem by Evan Tester

September 10, 2025

Andrew Benson Brown has had poems and reviews published in a few journals. His epic-in-progress, Legends of Liberty, will chronicle the major events of the American Revolution if he lives to complete it. Though he writes history articles for American Essence magazine, he lists his primary occupation on official forms as ‘poet.’ He is, in other words, a vagabond.

      Agreed, poetry was originated that way and remains to be the best way of experiencing the work. IMHO

    These video shorts are so good, and especially the one on Homer: the voice is compelling and the visuals really add to the language. Well done. A great achievement to help poetry attract a wider audience.

      We have to meet the common person where they are. And where they are is on YouTube!

        Assimilating the screen-starers is essential to World Poetical Domination.

    Andrew, what it takes to build these little words-of-wonder is intimidating for the average special-affectors (like myself). These are a very welcome addition to any poetry site. Great job, whiz-kid!

      Thanks Mark! Sorry I forgot to inform you that piece went up. A bit behind on things. Stay tuned for another one over the next few weeks here.
