Cardinals by Glenn CurrierWhile the burnished mother
sips water,
imagining its freshness on her back,
the father,
covered with his crimson orgasm,
observes the momentary
cocking of her head
from his perch
on the shoulders
of a nearby wandering jew. 08/04/2004 Author's Note: Just a simple observation

Posted by Max Bouillet on 08/08/04 at 06:05 AM I have always thought that one of the most important roots of poetry was the observation of the natural world. You do this with such beauty and fervor that it seems as though the reader is sitting beside you as you view the scene. Excellent. |
