Antoni Ooto
The Unconflicted Mind
Is there such a thing?
like unrestricted water
the energies of thought
spill across a ceremony of doubt
with its prayers and crows
never considering pen or paper
a time to study stones and clay
if only to remember symbolism.
Stories skim, dip, or bump around
feeling important in the telling.

Antoni Ooto is a poet and flash fiction writer who came to writing late. Known for his abstract expressionist art, Antoni now adds his voice to poetry. His love of reading and studying many poets has opened and offered him a new form of self expression. On long country walks he often finds inspiration or clarity to shape a work-in-progress. His poems have been published by Front Porch Review, Amethyst Review, Nixes Mate Review, Young Ravens Literary Review, and many others. Antoni lives and works with his wife poet/storyteller, Judy DeCroce in upstate New York.
