“P-06877-etry”
Welcome to another award-winning "P-06877-etry” feature where Ridgefield’s second Poet Laureate, Ira Joe Fisher, shares his poetic prowess with HamletHub readers!
Roaming
A poem climbs the hills and roughs the grass
like a wind, a wise wind weaving
through leafy-shaped shadows
and a million dotted suns.
A poem pads soft – like a doe – up a slope of moss
or stomps through the bracken fronds
like a wild and angry horse.
A poem is kind as it skirts along the creek bank
of dark needs where riversong flutes
and trees lean to listen –
that maple, those three willows
where the red-winged blackbird
chortles her song to the poem roaming
along the dust road that caved to paved
as the roaming poem aged and its ink dried
and lovelied the hills by a poem’s roaming.
