Jan Backes Poet Light Verse

Bird Soar

Once thicket thickened            
         Mossy, leafy
            Underlay.
Chance to catch starling
       Or barn swallow
Amidst slumbering umber.

Eyes pinched-- tiny prickles
        Star thistle glistens
         By green-lit moon.

          Craned and swoop,
                     Echoic;
           Plume beats hilarity.
            Lest they sail asunder,
                        Beaks...

White capped-- bold and noble
             Strand guarded;
      Acronymic to the other
          Guided by the sea.
