Dangling spine model from a doctor's office, twisted and haphazardly hanging.
Happy poetry month!
To celebrate I present...a haiku.
This wrecked pile of bones
is an actual display
of my life and back.

Six vibrant yellow daffodils blooming in a garden.
Golden explosion:
Yellow daffodils burst forth
to welcome spring sun.

Last night was our local open mike poetry event, and one of the poets, a retired poetry journal founder, shouted out this sonnet in his inbox starting his morning yesterday. ❤️
It feels extra special to publish with Rattle during #PoetryMonth

Here is a macro nature photo I took of a pink-purple lilac cluster with two buds at the mid-upper-left starting to open. Between their four curled petals is a magenta x-shape of brightness. The background is a green bokeh of leaves. Light through the blossoms delicately whispers, "Hi, I'm warm and soft, my sweet perfume will soothe your heavy heart." Happy National Poetry Month! My latest haiku is dedicated to new beginnings: guardians at the gate lilac's scent swings open

Day 4 of #PoetryMonth
Away is the awesome dystopian middle grade verse novel companion to Alone. Set during the same time period. But following the friends who've been wrenched from their homes, rather than the girl accidentally left behind.

THE PORTABLE SHRINE Gather the bones and pile them near the aspen, still in leaf. A clavicle, a dozen fetlocks, a few big as your knee, a thousand-pound animal reduced to what you can easily carry. Some days there will be beer cans, underwear from a fling. There must be forgiveness, a clearing, a space swept of debris. Taking and giving, a crucial part of the portable shrine. Focus. You must pause to do so, which means you come alone, the bitter breakfast tea still on your tongue. In your toolkit: a three-foot plume of purple fireweed gone to smoke and seed. A book of matches, perhaps a bell. The bell can be a cowbell, wind chimes, or the tap of two stones, soft as the bald path you've worn between your house and a loved one's. Add incense, candles, or ashes from a stove. Yes, ashes, no matter whose, will build one. Remember the old world is site-specific. Place a rock in a shallow stream. See how many more you can balance atop it. Hold your breath like a robin's egg, as if you were a nest, entrusted with all things smooth, blue, and oval. The last night you were at your mother's house, unable to sleep, you took photos of her kitchen cabinets, her pillbox, her matching towels, printed with flowers and leaves. There are shrines we leave behind us, un-portable shrines. Set a flag blowing in the wind, bow to the moon in the west, where the herbalists rub its skin with oil of pine. But know there are places you can approach only in the mind.
Today for #PoetryMonth, "The Portable Shrine" from Melissa Kwasny.
This entire collection (The Cloud Path, 2024) is filled with spirit-stirring work. Extraordinary variety. Extraordinary cohesiveness. A true work of wonder.
So... I wrote this experience into a villanelle. And Pinhole Poetry picked it up.
And, I've since discovered it was a RED SHOULDERED HAWK. Not a redtailed hawk. That was why the hawk was so enormous! #Poetry #PoetryMonth
