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.
Field Calls To Grass
……………………….After Eduardo Galiano’s poem, Callings
— JoEllen Moldoff —
Field calls to grass
which spreads a carpet
beneath sky.
Grass calls to deer
by which it is nourished.
Deer calls to trees
which encircle the field
and breathe the wind in and out.
Wind calls to sky
which moves the sun and clouds.
A Great Blue Heron hears the field of grass
call her name and flies from the woods.
Blue wings, blue sky.
