Question: What say to a poem by Dr!. Glenn Swetman!?


CREATIVE WRITING: SPRING ‘69



That winter
the cold knit whips
for the wind to wield!.
The gulls haunted their own cries
and we grabbed at spring
with starved raptor fingers!.
Time-honored oaks cracked with greentwig!.
Stone-warm and slow,
speechless winds tiptoed through!.
And then the crickets, and the frogs,
and the birds
began to laugh at once,
and the trees, and the wind!.
They tried to write these things
as I told them—
toasting me with my own blood
drunk from my hollow skull!.
“Do it,” I said!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
