Drink in the Waters
By Suzanne S. Austin-Hill
Drink in the Waters
Ubiquitous
bountiful bays
luminous lakes
nourishing narrows
clear, cool creeks
swift, shallow streams
Rushing rivers
carve colorful canyons from
roily rock
Rough rapids
refresh and renew;
foaming falls’
resolution
serene seas
Best medicines

Pete’s Death Speech for First Timers
By Pete Gold
Death! The great motivator and deterrent. I am here so I don’t die. You are here, therefore, can die.
Read PoemDave’s Avocation Application
By Jay Madigan
A measly $3,000 a year at most,
Yet, a Mayors employee to boast.
Still a hard pill to swallow,
Must a Poet’s life just wallow?
In the City Beautiful, my host.
