Reason A. Poteet Poet Quatrain

Maternal Instincts

With magnetic fascination
akin to domestication
I connect with Ms. Rabbit’s dawn.
Four babies she’s laid in my lawn.

Provoked by supernal emotion
stirred by a sense of procreation
I cancel lawn fertilizer.
Grass cutter? I will advise her.

Unparalleled admiration
drives my kids to affirmation.
They promise to protect new pets
no bikes, baseballs or bayonets.

Deeply compelled, preservation
builds a hutch in exaltation.
Field glasses from my window pane
track nature’s risks: sun, wind and rain.

AFFINITY WITH NATURE
by Line Gauthier

Magnetic fascination
Kin to emancipation
A connection internal
Stirs emotions supernal
Nature is unparalleled  
Provokes intoxication
As we feel deeply compelled
To exalt admiration
