Congratulations to our March, 2017 winner, Onefiftysix!
Saint Just, Cornwall
at night the granite rises in the pastures,
old stones stacked in chronological order
bones are found everywhere: the badger skull,
the flake of rib, moonlight growing in the ash trees
and the Druid oaks.
this was a hard year.
some boats never reached harbor
but surprises come in waves,
each day the sun breaks the layered clouds
the old men find their lost spirits,
the children gather heather from the fields
and the flies eat the sleep from the animal's eyes.
(september 1978)

Stay tuned for April's competition coming soon!

Excellent poetry. One of my favorites and so indicative of that countryside.

Congratulations, Daniel! Unfortunately this epic write exceeded the maximum wordage! Webmiss will correct it so that a link reflects the poem at her earliest convenience! Hang tight!

And we have liftoff, Deep Siders! The Voting has just been fired up!*

*Please note that all previous Poem of the Month winners have been marked "Non Entry" ( three of which were mine - just sayin' ). If I have missed one, please let me know. While we may revisit this in the future ( and there is certainly nothing wrong with nominating a previous winner's poem in the spirit of good will and support ), we are attempting to spread the Love in regards to the Hall of Fame representation.
Let's crank it out!

The seven rites of wholeness/4/ Voices of the ancestors
Trees are portals
From their roots
weeps the earth
Sentinental hymns
Cadavers
of ancient moss
neath my feet
Dream weaver
sheds the light
filtered through
these leaves
From old bones
I plant these seeds
Hieroglyphic skies
birds draw
emerald lines
Wind combes
ashen
colored clouds
Sun is
a kite
sailing
Through
open winged
horizon
