Mariah Boone’s most recent poem to appear here was Ice Baby (February 2012).
Urban Offerings to the Wild
By Mariah Boone
The chickadees with black-striped faces
Especially like the pumpkin loaf
From Starbucks
It has seeds across the top
You can crumble it across the courtyard
And they will come pop-hopping to eat it
Warily close
I offer it whenever I can


Lovely lovely poem…
I thank you for posting it.
