Karina Klesko: I have been a writer all my life. I began by writing Sunday school plans and children's books. For the past ten years I have been concentrating on eastern poetry. I was the Deputy-Editor-In-Chief of WHCReview, and Director of the WHCpoetrybridge. I am the publisher and editor of Sketchbook. I enjoy collaborative work. My work has been published in many magazines, journals in many countries. I established the OutlawPoets in 2004, a group for eastern and western poets to work together. Presently I am writing free verse to some extent and I am involved in three projects: the little black book of frac/tured poetry, a Love Anthology, and the Sketchbook. On the lighter side ...I am a shoe artist!

Trying to figure out
the best way to get
stronger hair
illuminating eyes
shape my life
burn more fat
skin that radiates
sexy triceps
stress less

show more skin
with only seconds
to make a first
impression
the same way
attraction shifts
on a silent road
in spite of a nice
tight chassis
second hand smoke
clouding the windows
to my soul

all night pedicures
by Korean angels,
targeting
a troubled zone

finding my footing
burning more calories
stopping off at a
Lite-Bite Restaurant
eating less/paying more
keeping the weight
off my mind
wearing the wrong shoes
to meet the right guy
