“P-06877-etry”
Welcome to another "P-06877-etry” feature where Ridgefield’s second Poet Laureate, Ira Joe Fisher, shares his poetic prowess with HamletHub readers.
An April Day
In the sun
a wind bothers
the boughs
of a pine
across the street.
It ripples
a canvas awning
as if thumbing
the pages
of an old book
so loved,
so read,
it sits open
and holy
like a bible
on the table.
There’s no rent
in the sky,
no broken blue,
where the wind
slipped from.
It clears spring
for the sun
and the budding
to come.
(from Ira's collection, Some Holy Weight in the Village Air)
** Ira’s newest collection of poems, The Birth of Snow is now available for purchase locally at Books on the Common!
