The first poem sent in is from Judith Hutchinson (2 Jan 2010):
Watching Reruns
Fifty yards of birds walking backwards.....
or, at least, backwards, I think.....
how can one tell from the tracks,
going and coming on the beach
like yesterday's tide.
Patricia Ihrig (3 Jan 2010) sent this:
Spontaneity
Ah. . .
when spontaneity
hits a writer
can
a poem
be far
behind?
Stephanie Hutchison (8 Jan 2010):
(I left this until quite late in the week, so be kind!)
Holiday Shopping
This gift or that?
Book? Film? Crockery? Food?
Focus!
Loves blue. Loves play.
Analytical, sometimes critical, thoughtful and quick witted.
Puzzle? Print? Model airplane?
How much does it matter?
Shake head. Roll shoulders.
Focus!
Chuckle or wonder?
A fun bit of foppery, slice of sunshine, taste of ambrosia.
Choose!
Nope.
Move on to another display.
Focus!
Something will pop out.
Look for the unusual, the new, the pleasing.
Ahhh. Yes.
This
is
it.
