WHAT'S THIS?

Having been immersed in memoir writing for many months, I decided to write a small poem every day for a year to keep my poetic hand in. I've posted them to Instagram and facebook as written – where, to my amazement, people love them – but on this blog they are sometimes subject to later rewriting.

Now comes thunder ...


Now comes thunder 

in the midst of summer.

Out in the yard,

the leaves agitate.

The one bloom on the vine

trembles and dips.


This time it stays 

a little distant. Last night 

a deluge as the sky cracked,

warm and wild. Gazing  

from shelter and an open door,

we breathed it in.
