Poem of the Week

One Breath

One breath
sank into the dungeon's plumbing
exhaling a sunstroke

a talent relinquished
for nobody's sake
slowly groping
from memory

hiding a gemstone
not the Hope diamond

or a dollar store treasure
vanilla scented candle
perched over a
smiling gargoyle

waiting to dance with
the princess who walks by.

Poem to appear in Children Churches and Daddies

I would like to thank Janet Kuypers for selecting my poem titled "When Daddy Comes Around" for publication in the July 2010 issue of Children Churches and Daddies. I have managed to lose track of how many times I have been published in this fantastic left-of-center literary publication. Thank you to all my supporters!

Poem of the Week

Easter in Florida

A sandhill crane with two babies sits in the middle of a meridian
drawing a crowd from drivers passing by the farms.

Fish swim near the surface of the lake
heads bobbing up and down in perfect unison
to the beat of a classic song by Mozart
softly playing in the background.

Two ibises sway to a much smoother tune
Ambrosia, singing to each other
how being the biggest part of me
brings a sunrise in your eyes
giving me a joy
that lasts throughout the year
not just at Easter.
