migraines, asthma, grass and hay fever allergies, procrastination, impatience, distraction

places I’ve never been, sights I’ve never seen, music I’ve never heard, books I’ve never read, food I’ve never tasted, things I’ve never experienced, words I’ve never known, and the deliciously perfect poem
Call:
Downpour
on the roof
the drum of rain
on the bed
the drum of hearts
...raining harder, now

I am so glad to see the field guide return. How appropriate to bring it back with Dianne, a poet whose work I respect and admire for its imagination and energy, and also someone who contributes so much to the local poetry community as co-host of Lix & Kix!
Thank you so much, Shelley, and thank you, Michael- I am grateful for the honor of this post.
congratulations...
Love it!
Good poem, too.
If not for Dianne, I probably would never have gotten involved in the Cleveland poetry scene or hosted a reading or published a chapbook.
Dianne rocks! And yes, "Downpour" is excellent.
