Poetry for The Light And The Beautiful Dark

Please enjoy a poem by Margaret Roncone and two poems by Claudia Hollander-Lucas.

Autumn Light

lengthening shadows
discard bright light
store it in a
cupboard for next June

what I notice and
pause to study
are narrators of
a fresh story
unfolding in pebbled gravel
dried grass
and moon’s play on stone.

By Margaret Roncone

Margaret Roncone: I write poetry daily because of a commitment with another island poet and a poet in Seattle. I also write to nourish and save my soul.

SummerSet
haiku

hummingbird lingers

summer sets on shorter days

fragrance holds the rose

By Claudia Hollander-Lucas

A comment about these poems:
My creative focus has been concerned with the spaces between things, seasons, mind-sets, and life stages— those liminal markers, like summer fragrance on dried roses and that new wrinkle on the brow.
