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.

WAY TO GO!

— by Jan Ferris Kolton —

Tina footles, footloose, furry,
waggles her tail at frozen slurry.
Single headlamp pierces Boston dawn.
Forty days ’til the Race is on!
Walker, runner, hound, our trio
greet each other con mucho brio.
