In light of the realization that it is now April which brings us to National Poetry Month AND add to the fact that I am now going on three weeks with no writing and fighting off whatever bug this is that keeps me coughing and sleeping a paltry two hours a night AND that I have had down time to go back and meander through one of my writing files I figured I would offer this piece from back in 2007 for your thoughts. (Hopefully I will be back to more regular writing these next few days…one more day with the cherubs and then spring break!)…

Enjoy

culmination anima
red leaves of ancient oaks
flutter restlessly in autumnal breezes
as the erubescent sun
reaches with florid arms
to embrace and kiss
the evening star
