| Poem of the Month for May 2023 This wonderful poem comes from Hiram Larew. Larew founded Poetry X Hunger to bring the world of poetry to the anti-hunger cause. This poem was first published by Angel House Press and then appeared in Larew’s collection, Patchy Ways (2023, CyberWit Press). |
| Hinge If clouds could sidle up to us as friends If what we wished oiled every hinge or had us spend all our time outside or framed each page with light foretold And if cans on shelves were faces held — the one we’ve grown to love If keys opened all the wind for us or weeds hid gold inside If echoes from the well came up to treasure us If all such miracles were hardly said like thunder far away If tasseled corn would teach us songs or only this –if vines could whistle from porches. This poem first appeared in Patchy Ways. |
