Poetry Reading July18, 2013

We enjoyed our Poetry Reading, singing and view of Jeanne’s family of self-published e-books.
Several artists learned how to publish on Blurb.com.

Quenby Poland’s photos in the books and frames were
admired.

Even Oliver and Annika , at 2 and 4 years of age participated.

Who knew Columbia Greene College could
welcome all ages to their halls to celebrate life, love and fine art without a wrinkle in time?

Tongue Twister #32 Distance 3

Spaniel
spans ship-to-shore
slip and slide ride
perched on slippery stallion
short of shipping lane
swimming sea leagues
five kilometers a clip.

pet to raptor
rapture met
in feathers

beak of raptor
no back door
escape

claws of raptor
not yet sharp-
cuddly

baby raptor
tiny squat
knows not what
a raptor does

yet.

Outside

OAO6-2013

My cheek rests warm
on father’s breast;
his heart beat shakes my ear.
His stubble whispers through my hair
his breath blows fear from here.

He puts me down
to take a call:
I stand on solid feet
outside his heat
outside his lap
outside all right
outside here on my own.

Tongue Twister# 26 Aardwolf

This is a graphic for Catherine Johnson who has been evolving her aardwolf:
Mine is more of a wolfvark.

Aardwolf
not scary;
ardent,
awkward,
airy,
hairy.

Ice
descends
to core;
cools
fire’s
dragon breath.

Breath of dragon
fires
core;
condensation on
ice!

Continuum:
seventy six years
continue to
curl round
’til
conundrum
collides
with conflict
conscience
choices
cat walk
collapsing
to caverns
catastrophes
continuing
continuum
conundrum.

Tongue Twister#16 Textures

Birdman

Bent beak
flimsy feathers
catchy claws
testy tongue
stuck-up tail:

Bird man!

Tongue Twister #15 Ranting

Giant_Pop-UpCartoons

Ranting
panting
chanting
granting
naught.

Ought to
plant
petunias
scant
slant-ed
plants.

Ants
plan to
plant
paths that
grant
growth.

Cease
ranting;
try
planting
plants
that play:
plants that play!

Replaced

The newest knee
to be
of three:
Ginger
Jon
Kavi!
