Poem Category: Miscellaneous

Pouring a white wine
the way her bracelet charms
tinkle our glasses.

Rain puddles
the school boy running-in
his new shoes.

Hay barn
the hoot of an owl
in the lover’s silence.

Morning winds
from yacht to yacht
their roll in shared waves.

Twice on Sundays
Father’s leather prayer book
binding us.

Summer dies
listening in
the cicadas’ hot hearts .

Midnight lake
a salmon leaps from
its hole in the moon.

Closing time
letting the pretty bar-maid
pirate our change.

Drifting canoe
the urge to sleep
on the tides to the moon.

Into a great silence
a whale rising
among the loose ice.
