Two Poems for 6/25 and 6/26
Of You
after Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
In your heart are the snows and the Sawtooth,
in your thoughts the Ponderosa spreads;
by your mouth a bee locates pollen,
by your hands a garden plots;
through your eyes more tunnels illuminate,
through your voice more embers glow.
. . . . . . .
A Teacher’s Haiku
Reading Nabokov,
you skip parenthetical –
but at your own risk.
