Note: If you’re interested in submitting ekphrastic works to MacQueen’s Quinterly, wonderful! We hope you’ll take a few minutes to read Ephective Ekphrastics: A Guide for Verbalizing Art, tips by Jack Cooper and Clare MacQueen in KYSO Flash which include additional examples of what Clare’s looking to publish here in MacQ as well. See also the excellent recommendations from Robert L. Dean, Jr. in his essay on craft: Finding the Door: One Writer’s Approach to Ekphrasis (MacQ-13, May 2022). |

In March, Clare MacQueen posted a special call for works that she hoped would make her chuckle, or even better laugh out loud. Inspired by Shel Silverstein’s poem Put Something In, she was looking for “something silly”—or weird or nutty, or quirky or funny—something original, something “that ain’t been there before,” as Silverstein put it. The call must have struck a chord in folks; to Clare’s delight, MacQ received a hundred humorous pieces to consider. And she’s tickled to present the following 40 which fill the “silly” bill in various ways. 😄

*Note: Beginning with Issue 7 of MacQ, micro-poems are no longer than 51 words each as counted by Mac Pages (which is the approximate equivalent of 280 characters, i.e., the Twitter limit), with each word containing an average of 5.5 characters. The limit of 51 words includes punctuation, spaces between words, and the title if the micro-poem has one. Haiku, senryu, and tanka, for example, do not have titles.
