WOOD THRUSH BOOKS -- POETRY |
A sample poem, "Trout Lily:"
On an alpine pondAbout the author:
ice still lingers,
naked branches clatter
in the raw wind and
patches of snow cling
to an angry landscape.In this unlikely place
it shines --
an outburst of yellow
gently drooping petals
and mottled leaves unfurled
from bleached forest duff.Here we go again.
Backcountry pollen
and green joy
just when it seemed
impossible.
