Poetry Across The Web (Week Two)
July 19, 2007 by John Hewitt
This week, once again, the web has yielded plenty of new poems for poetry lovers to read. Here are a few, with my favorite lines selected.
An Eighth Lesson in Magic
In the absence of miracles, the pot
simmers a new husband in the oven.
They’re Leaving Home
After forty years he has to wonder,
will he ever go back to that street?
mandate (social)
Dollars notwithstanding, they each burn their own way.
Sojourns in a Parallel World
We call it “Nature”; only reluctantly
admitting ourselves to be “Nature” too.
Blues
I am lazy, the laziest
girl in the world.
The Scent of Blue
As a girl, she wears Bluebell,
fresh and full of hope
Perfect Dead
You are improving
as you die
Her Eyes Filled, Thus the Poem Spoke
doves of peace
fluttering like Mae West’s eye-lashes
Lake Powell Revisited
sandstone reaches up
from man’s hoarded water tank
Happiness
happiness is the uncle you never
knew about
The final poem is one of mine:
Snow Together
I had to describe it for her
Falling down and collecting on the windshield

this is a good website. My question is, if readers want to share previously published poems, how do they go about doing that? People in my “circle” like to share “poems they like” not only poems they write. how do you do that?
