David Mohn Poet Sapphic stanza

Watchtowers

Titans tilting, tangibly human windmills
Swaying sentries, harboring haloed witness 
  Lofted coal mines, timber canary cages  
            Whispers from redwoods

Rob Carmack February 13, 2019 at 7:09 PM This is another entry that made this contest tough to judge. Your poem is one of the ones I like best from this contest. Congrats.

P.S. Awtry February 13, 2019 at 1:10 PM this is a beautiful and haunting piece. From the perfect title to the hushed sadness of the last line... Congratulations!

Craig Cornish February 13, 2019 at 10:20 AM This sweeps across the environment with a gentle hand David. Each time I read it I catch more of the subtle ambiguity and as I do, perhaps I should have placed you higher.
