My poem, the lookout, was published today in the Spring 2025 online issue of confetti, Westchester Writers Workshop Magazine.
I wrote this poem originally in response to an ekphrastic challenge by Wee Sparrow Poetry Press. It did not win but was featured in their newsletter.
Thanks!
Playing along with Sheree’s Last on the Card challenge ~
misted houses & hills
a distance fog encroaches
tulips continue their dance
wintering docks
wait on dry land
eager to soak
bedridden, aching feet
spring cleanup—
items we couldn’t live without,
we’re about to live without
still-vibrant red tulips,
lovely heads bowing in the wind—
yet, not long for this world
assorted memories
a collection of poetry post cards
from friends not (yet) met
* a fond tribute / shout-out to the Poetry Postcard Fest, an annual 56-day, self-guided workshop in spontaneous composition, creativity and community building, community outreach!
planters await potting soil
and thrusted starters,
hand-sculpted with hope & love
burgeoning green buds
on the honey locust
frame a golfer’s errant swing
