I've been dipping my toe into submitting original spec poetry to places that publish that sort of thing, and as part of my quest I've been reading the poetry archives at several online magazines. Here are a couple that I really liked:

Osiris by Leah Bobet

I'm a sucker for retold myths, okay. Also I am a simple soul, and there are rhymes! Internal rhymes, even.

Unknown Search Terms by A. D. Harper

I think this is technically a prose poem? IDK, if you told me it was a short story I would also believe you. In any case, I like it: it's voice-y, funny, and surreal-yet-familiar.

From now on, all Vorkosigan fic will be written in sonnet form: so moved.

The Olivia/Dono romance in A Civil Campaign has always seemed somewhat rushed. Of course, neither of them are viewpoint characters, so we don't know what was going on with them behind the scenes. What if Olivia and Donna had been lovers before Donna ever went to Beta Colony?

I asked for Olivia/Donna for Winterfair, and gramina wrote me the following poem:

Changes

Go read it; it's lovely.

Cordelia's Reply to Ezar

Fandom: The Vorkosigan Saga

Characters: Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan, Ezar Vorbarra

Rating: G

Word count: 130

Summary: My Bible says the meek are blessed
Your planet kills and eats the flawed—
But he who laughs the last laughs best

Cordelia replies to Ezar's Reply to the Passionate Shepherd.

Note: I thought since Cordelia isn't Barrayaran, she should use a different poetic form.

This one's for:

Declaiming Revolution

Fandom: The Vorkosigan Saga

Characters: Aral Vorkosigan, Padma Vorpatril, Rulf Vorhalas

Rating: PG

Word count: 160

Summary: What is this meekness? You who would not bare
Your throats to Cetagandans, and who raised
The rebel flag against Just Dorca's heir—
Whose blood-thirst makes the galaxy amazed—

This one's for:
