POETRY
Below is a small selection of poems selected from Sharon Fryes “Blue Lamentations And other Noisy Scrawls”
Ecclesiastes
Drag horse feathers
Behind yesteryears
Heaped end over end
In a pinewood box
Glass Berries
My head lays on the soft folds
of her periwinkled apron,
draped across her ample lap.
I sniff Atlantic blue flowers-
Growth Ring
come let’s sit
on the front porch
in pink morning air
savor coffee
Last Chance for Rain
She brought his mail each day at three.
He watched the clock hands position,
pointing in perpendicular lines.
He unfolded from leather chair
Prelude, Voice Aquiver
I am not content
to fade into yesterday’s
almanac, landing on a
shelf of dusty dreams,
In the Silence
I have cast away my idols
For a glimpse of holy feet
And heaved my golden bowls
Into the fire
