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.
Graduation Day
— by Issa Parker —
Rain on graduation day
coreopsis along the fence
less is not more
when three bucks pass by
tugging and snipping
in their grazing ways.
There goes the coreopsis!
Notes
— by Issa Parker —
Has it only been one week
since last I lived in poetry –
now I tack poems
on the garden shed door.
A weed
— by Issa Parker —
A weed
an uninvited guest
who overstays
its vernal welcome
when winter’s grip gives way.
Thank you for these!
