Notes About The Poem

7/19/2026 for Through Aesthetica Poetry Contest sponsored by Nette Onclaud 

Hammock of Wind

A seed floats on a cushion of air,
a milkweed for a monarch to share
under a sun that fairly grinned
on that hammock of wind. 

What fun to feel the breeze and sun
and watch the beauty that God has spun -  
monarch wings, mirror image twinned
from my hammock in the wind.
