Rhysling nomination

My poem Returning has been nominated for the Rhysling Award :-)

"Returning" first appeared in The Open Mouse, and is a poem about King Xau riding through the night to get back home.

Recently I spent quite a few hours reading SF/F poems so that I could make my own Rhysling nominations. I drew up a shortlist of my favorites, found that several of them had already been nominated ... which made my choice slightly easier, but by no means easy.
