Poetry Commons

Hi all, thought I would share a recent poem in response to the climate prompt given.

I'm delighted to be here, my first visit. I discovered Poetry Commons through the latest IPM newsletter. I'm eager to share this poem, High Spring:

HIGH SPRING

Chuck Joy

green sails, green in scoops

green surfaces every direction

entire terrain green with green

Hi all,

I am delighted to be here. Figured I'd share something of mine by way of introduction. This one is on the longer side for me, and is from my forthcoming debut collection, Blood Alluvium (Parlyaree Press, September, 2024). It was originally published in Wrongdoing Magazine.

Hello. I'm new to the group. Here is a poem I wrote shortly after my wife passed away....

No Stranger to Grief

No stranger to grief these sixty four years.

No stranger to loss or longing or tears.

Holding our dying son gasping for breath in the single hour

that was his life.
