Kim Rodrigues Poet Blank verse

Pussywillows Live In Our Hearts

PUSSY WILLOWS LIVE IN OUR HEARTS


The catkins, silver flamed, light up each branch.

I choose a bunch to brighten up a room,

to celebrate this Dingus Day of Spring.

We gobble gab, with pierogies on hand,

and sip our wine, and beer.  We lift, we cheer -

To life! Then bow our heads for those we mourn.

6/8/2107

In memory of my uncle and cousin
