You can find In the Flat Field at my new website – http://www.poems.elizabethenslin.com – where I’ll be posting most poetry drafts from now on. The hitch is that the drafts are password protected, so you’ll need to go there, get my email address or leave a comment on the welcome post, so I can send you a password. It will be good for all future poems.

Viewing the Meteor Showers

The hottest, thickest most humid night of the year
Curled together on a blanket beneath some trees
Where clouds of noisy insects have gathered to
Serenade the piercing of the atmosphere this
Dense and blackest of all nights.

No wind stirs the shadows at our backs.
We lean forward, scoping the uncluttered
bowl of sky
All we see are the dim abiding stars
Until a flash of brightnes, a pin-prick
Penetrates the blackness like a tear
That pulls across the horizon swift as
A neglected searchlight beam – then
Arcing quickly to the ground.
It disappears,

But wait! Another flash and then some more
Crazy in their patterns, curled short and
Swooping long – we haven’t moved
From our safer sanctuary. Let the radar
Capture these wild rides, the ground will
Only yield crusty shells while the stars
Remain cool and aloof in their abiding sky.

Won’t

May Sarton wrote,
psychic pain? Sit it out.
Be like the trees
that give up their
leaves easily in the fall,
retreat into their roots
for renewal and sleep.
I have learned
this lesson
with confusion—
let it hang there and
things have a way
of sorting themselves out.
But when something
gnaws at me
and I don’t know or
won’t know what it is . . .
Oh, there’s the rub isn’t it?
Won’t know.

Thanks, Deb. I don't know what it is about the wordles that kicks me into overdrive, but again--more than one. One's a little odd and dense and, while it doesn't use all the words, the one I like.[as bending trees are safer in the wind (orrery with aged women in its heart)]. The other hits 'em all and is kind of quirky-sad and odd. For lack of a better title, it is PRECIPICE, PRECIOUS, *ping*

I had thought a poem based on a list of words would come out sounding forced and would be perhaps stunted in its meaning, but it came out a lot better than I'd expected. I guess restriction really does breed creativity. Anyway, here's my poem: Matt
