an oak tree’s newest mouth
Author: Dave Bonta
I live in an Appalachian hollow in the Juniata watershed of central Pennsylvania, and spend a great deal of time walking in the woods. My books of poetry include FAILED STATE: HAIBUN, ICE MOUNTAIN: AN ELEGY, BREAKDOWN: BANJO POEMS, and ODES TO TOOLS.
first hepaticas
will the circle be unbroken
between showers
six fish crows and the sun
trailing
myself on the app arbutus
spring creek
the waterthrush dancing by its side
early gnats
in my ears a trout’s splash
winter’s over
time to shed your coat woolly bear
Roundtop
a linked-verse sequence
April Fool’s
small snowballs falling from the sky
Spring Rain
a linked-verse sequence
thinking
the barn is a tree clever squirrel
March wind
A linked-verse sequence.
