GREG WOOD
watching
birds cannot fly
through the
pebbles of the sky
when it rains
but they can watch
droplets fall
through the windows
of the trees
whistle
and await
return of blue
sweet blue,
soon air-dried
by the sun.
they can watch us
watch them
through
our own
screen windows
while
we perch in
soft of
stillness.

It's not easy getting a book or pamphlet accepted for review these days. So in addition to the regular review section, the One Poem Review feature will allow more poets' to reach a wider audience - one poem featured from a new book/pamphlet along with a cover JPG and a link to the publisher's website. Contact the editor if you have released a book/pamphlet in the last twelve months or expect to have one published. Details here
