April 15~ SHEILA MURPHY Poetry lovers, today it's an honor to shine the spotlight on the talented and prolific Sheila Murphy. Please enjoy "Bee Breath" and "As the Decibels Meander Forth."   Thank you, Sheila, for sharing...

Special thanks to Samantha Terrell, EIC of SHINE, for featuring two poems by me:

Betonte Gewichte in Schwarz/Weiss (Stressed Weights in Black and White), by Wassily Kandinsky (1925: pen, brush, and India ink on paper.). One outlined triangle angles from the bottom left, tilts its tip to the upper right. Overlaid, at the triangle’s base is a tilted rectangle, angled the same as the triangle, with four striped lines inside growing thinner from the bottom to the top, evenly spaced. Above are two black crescent shapes, parallel, angled slightly down, from left to right. They have flat bases on the left and sharp tips hooking upward on the right. Along the right of the outlined triangle are three outlined triangles (from the bottom to the top sized by small, large, and medium) attached by their bases with tips pointing right. They rest between the four-striped rectangle’s top and the main triangle’s tip. There is an outlined circle in the upper left. Flanking its middle, two black triangles reach and cross over the main outlined triangle’s tip on the right. Their bases are cut at an angle, with the points near the circle. Behind the black triangles are three outlined triangles sized from left to right by large, medium, and small. Their tips face down and angle to the left. They rest closer to the main outlined triangle’s tip. Paired with the artwork is Sheila E. Murphy's latest poem: Crop Dusting Universiocity out-laudanums the swirl of dumbbells I alone can't lift without sifting out the act of reprehending when pretending won't do. A kind of unkind epoxy gluts the room where we are standing accidentally close but not together I must declare in case you are fond of inferring and do that now retrospectively plus futuristically as though you were Robert Theobold who lived in Wickenburg when I was romping toward my doctoral degree in a field then foreign to me. It's about or not about being stuck I premise or promise you. You perhaps wince at our proximity unless I have you removed from this hypothetical bounty of possible bliss or just a miss.

Week 1 of #NationalPoetryMonth, we celebrate the latest #poetry of award-winning poet Sheila E. Murphy (@shemurph.bsky.social).

Happy spring, everyone! Please join us next Wednesday to celebrate more #PoetryMonth #WolfPack Highlights.
