Poet’s corner: Winter beach
the sun! the sun!
gusts to 40
heart flutters
a gift of beach
travel — adjust
clothes in layers
weather, footwear
terrain
miles — stretch
sleep on clay
skin
life change
splash of ions
kiss of sea
shifting...
Poet’s Corner: Weather
From padded window seat inside café
a cup of tea warms my hands
as cold winds shuffle sidewalk leaves
Two tables away sit two men
one in October...
Poets’ Corner: Winter’s Concert
Singing through the sparkling night sky
the sound of winter’s chilling cry
Trees dancing with delight to a tune
sung in chorus under a smiling moon
Running brooks...
Poets Corner: The Day the Earth Moved
The Day Earth Moved
It was the day after Christmas
when Earth's mighty shoulders
shrugged together
to transform time
Lifting a big wave
no matter the name
shifting weight hidden
beneath
Indian Ocean
Beaches...
A most educational conversation
Many thanks to Wampanoag Tribal Cultural Council director Linda Coombs for hosting Geraldine Brooks at the Vanderhoop Homestead this past Wednesday.
