In recognition of Poetry Month, and to celebrate and highlight our treasure trove of Orcas Island poets, Orcas Issues is pleased and honored to again offer daily poetry during April.

— Carla Stanley —
Sue’s veneer
is
tourist thin
a moment smile
that’s bout as thick
as
mist
the twist is
she doesn’t live
here
since her
mind’s
in pieces
she says
it’s
her thesis on life
to be spread
marmalade thick
and it’s
a trick
or
treat
