Anthony Bianco Poet Couplet

A Quilt For Mother Earth

Walking stick stroking limestone paths
sunshine warming these patina hands-

A fleeting chorus of gold-winged finch,
God sashaying over cherry wood violins-

Turtles playing dominoes on mossy stones
amidst cattails and croaking saxophones-

Cardinal splashing in blue spruce pines
emerald hoppers popping out a nursery rhyme-

Maple leaves flaunting sweetened faces
Hot pants angels sowing quilts for Earth Day-
