Peter C Venable’s most recent poem to appear here was Zen Nonsense (September 2014).
At 5 AM
By Peter C Venable
From the deck
a million tiny eyes probe mine
behind silhouettes of trees and shrubs.
The dank air whirls with spirals of light
and a crescent moon blushes
under a dawn’s pink ruffles.
What a great piece. It begged to be read a few times and after I had I was left with a haunting sense of place and displacement (not to mention the lush beauty of the imagery and the intensity packed into the clearly carefully crafted and concise language). I look forward to more of your work Peter.
