Swing

Swing Wednesday off is as foreign to me as the coast of Chile. The boys whoop on the monkey bars. The girls twist headfirst like eels down slides. The mothers eye me, a stranger. I bask on a bench in the sun's warm hands, trying to relearn to relax. I'm a workaholic, disoriented by a day off. A smal...

Re: Haibun

Good one. I could also see this one with shorter line lengths, to suggest the N’s speech rhythm, like in many of your poems.

I like the efficiency in this. And the idea of starting with something as simple and as common as a thumb print endeared me to this poem.

Re: Blue Prayer Beads

Terrific poem. A GREAT close. This poem should be a model enjoyed in writing classes. It should be in an anthology. Where are you sending it? It's been some time since I last sat upright, beads in hand like a rope to pull me from the abyss. Facing the east, eyes closed, feeling my way bead by bead a...

Re: Today I Was Her Dad Though Tonight She Asks Me Where The Man Is Who Raked Leaves

Excellent poem, Billy. I have read it a number of times, and it gets better with each read. No nits. A poignant piece. The ending is just right.

Good poems make m...
