Anybody’s Poem by Gavin Spanagel

Anybody’s Poem 

What to hold onto

            Vs.

What to touch

What to soak

What to brush

What to ignore

What to go for

What to save

What to spend

Anyone could have 

written this poem.

Acorn Dreams by Gavin Spanagel

 Acorn Dreams

Do acorns dream

With open eyes

Longing for limbs

Believing in leaves?

What’s under their cap

An itch to bark?

A cool patch of earth

To stretch roots

Acorn dreams on.

Ask Me What I Know of Blue by Maureen Teresa McCarthy

Ask Me What I Know of Blue

 

I’ve got the blues the lady sings

Give me blue mountains not a gold ring

Blue days and blue rivers

Blue water running to the sea

Blue pines and blue jays                     

Blue haze and blue cheese 

Blue dusk and blue dawn 

Blue blessing and sorrow

Blue of all tomorrow

                                                

All this blue and water 

Sliding through my hands

No longer blue but silver clear

Shifting as the sand

Bluebirds and blue moods 

Blueberries plump and sweet

Blue blood and a robin’s egg

My blue heaven 

Life on this blue planet

Blue infinity                                        

We are one in water every vein is blue

Blood beneath every skin 

Is all the same in you
