My Poems in Tsuri-dōrō
The following are all my poems published in Tsuri-dōrō since it began in 2021, with my most recent poems shown first.
ghost story
circling the campfire
rumours of an owl
lost-dog poster—
a Dudley Carter totem
rotting in the rain
deep woods . . .
the reflecting pond isn’t still
when I sit long enough
#22, July/August 2024 (learn more about Dudley Carter)
willows by the creek —
I wonder why we’re talking
about profit margins
shooting star—
my child asks
where God came from
wildfire haze—
flag up
on the rural mailbox
the ivy now
turned to crimson—
first report card
job interview—
too hazy to see
the distant mountain
waning summer . . .
the pilcrows showing
in my Word file
peppered with crows the pumpkin patch
your hand in mine—
the fullness
of tonight’s sky
summer night—
I close Peggy’s book
to hear the rain
thundersnow—
the price of roses
on Valentine’s Day
Yosemite stars—
if only there were fireflies
to go with the view
poetry conference—
the organizer’s name badge
upside-down
childhood veggies—
wondering now
if I’m big and strong
