Featured Poet: Duane Ackerson

 

The Hummingbird

long ago
lost its luggage
but not the urge to travel.

 

Snow

Sometimes, while trying
to keep its hands warm, the rain
embroiders doilies.
 
Rainpuddles are not
all forgotten; the next storm
comes carrying crowns.
 
On the street, oil slicks:
are these rainbows that someone
should hang out to dry?

 

Rainy City

Neon negligee
night, beautiful lady, walks
in streaming dark streets
 
Childhood is a beach
and we don't know it till the
tide turns against us
 
He who takes a stand
is easier to measure
for a trap door.

 

Constellations

Those trellises the night climbs
dreaming of the sweet face
of the moon.
