Never too many poems in Poetry Month
April 4, 2015: A Poem Based on a Quote Between Title and Poem
Expect nothing. Live frugally
On surprise.
Alice Walker
Each day
I paint
rainbows.
Some
get struck
by lightning
others
overcast
light
shadows
surprise
rainbows
and
me.

The American
April 4, 2017 (Field Guides)
American
I am a continent
surrounded by two mighty oceans
a middling zone
feet at equator
skies with moon and sun;
earthly mountains and vales
dessert creatures underground
flower blossoms blowing in the wind
majestic and humble
all at once an altar for my God.

Field Guide
Once, in the cool blue middle of a lake,
up to my neck in the most precious element of all,
I found a pale-gray, curled-upwards pigeon feather
floating on the tension of the water
at the very instant when a dragonfly,
like a blue-green iridescent bobby pin,
hovered over it, then lit, and rested.
That’s all.
I mention this in the same way
that I fold the corner of a page
in certain library books,
so that the next reader will know
where to look for the good parts.

the three ring circus hides under the tent
Foraging picks through the center island
Awkward keeps his eyes down
Put-it-off drops wrappers everywhere
Obsessive wipes the counters to dazzling
Martyr-complex kneels ’til callouses form
the dull light of Guilt never dims
Entertainer pirouettes round the ring
She’s a Performance artist in the buff
electric Pantomime
