Notes About The Poem

At Dawn

 
a drum beats in my heart, of my Ojibwe spirit ancestors
it fades in the forest and beyond in the sky azure -
down flutters an eagle feather, that I place in my wind swept hair

Geoffrey Brewer Date: 6/4/2018 5:51:00 AM This conveys a marvellous image in the final line. Very impressive sijo, Wings. So you are of the Ojibwe! I spent a lot of time in Chippewa Falls in my past (‘Chippewa’ a corruption of Ojibwe, I think) Login to Reply

Login to Reply Constance La France Date: 5/27/2018 5:54:00 AM Thank you Joseph, the drums were beating yesterday of my Ojibwe grandfathers, the wise who dwell above in the sky, they are still with me today faint at times then loud and haunting, usually this happens when I am in a dark place and need direction.
