My poem enumeration was published in the wee hours of the morning today. The email notification arrived in my Inbox at 2:15 AM. Someone’s an early riser / night owl!
This poem is what I’m calling a “numeridarian” and it appears in the online journal Bluebird’s Scribe Review. I hope you’ll like it!
wardrobe herd: culled
a task long overdue
post-retirement,
no need for all these clothes
kitty
calico cat whiskers
tickle and charm me
how her motor purrs!
October, please!!
thunderstorms overnight
loud but sleep-inducing
today: a warm, muggy mess
fruit
scooping out green hats
atop juicy, red strawberries
luscious wave of summer joy
leafy mixtape
remembering summers past
I wonder when cicadas
might begin their August songs
want
squabbling voices, repetitious & shrill
I yearn for the mourning dove’s coo
the click & clack of the industrious cicada
the most wonderful time of the year
the beginning of the beginning
our setting sun nudges southward
hints of fall pierce the August heat
Exuberance
O happy, happy day!
Release from an unjust incarceration
A joyful, grateful nation celebrates!
