Reflection

I wasn't reading a particular book when I wrote these poems.  Instead, I was wondering about how "stretchable" language could be.  And, how most all things counter-intuitive are so, so wise. The magic that night brings to our poems. Yes!

Yellow's Blue

 

How poems beg the moon
         to conjure rhyme
         or shimmer


How too nights jot
         through yellow’s blue

 

Or stars mood the ever-lines
         and pencils dream


How poems spill or bask the moon—
         what’s scribbled in between

Larew's poems have appeared in Honest Ulsterman, Contemporary American Voices, Poetry South, Live Encounters, The Iowa Review and KNOT.  His most recent collection, Mud Ajar, was published by Atmosphere Press in 2021.  www.HiramLarewPoetry.com
