Can’t Find The Words

Down In It

Four In The Morning | Poem
All should be quiet All should be calm But from my porch I can hear the noise, a clamoring riot An occasional car Passing through town Not all that close Empty morn air brings it from far Frogs sing the song Calling for new mates Unbroken melodies Going on for God knows how [Read More]

Japanese Lantern Poetry | Variation | How To
