Where are all the poems?
By Nicole Yurcaba
The carefully syllabled haiku
penned one arctic January afternoon,
post-squirrel hunting?
A metered March sonnet
written frantically
following fevered lovemaking
on the farm pond’s fresh greenness?
The bob-and-wheel (penciled mid-August),
mimicking a decrepit tractor’s
sluggish chug?
September’s sestina recalling summer’s
catfishing nights,
barn floor make-outs,
three AM pickup truck rides?
Penned, forgotten in journal #113’s pages.
Written on a wrinkled feed receipt; tossed into, shredded by the NDE feed grinder.
Stashed in jean pockets; destroyed in the borax-laden wash water.
Yet to be written.
Nice! Just keep them in your mind and spill them our later.
I really like this one! =)
