POETRY 2024: End of May by Gerald Phillips

End of Mayby Gerald Phillips To the East: Cloud-angels speakingIn tongues of bright lightning Are discussing the Earth.  To the South: Spring frogs are singing Around water rising Among wild iris shoots.  To the West: Old bear is peering Out at the dim gloaming From behind white aspen trunks. To the North: Elk herds are moving From low meadows drying To high meadows of lush green.. To the East: Angels are singing In tongues of bright lightning Praising the Earth!Our theme song is courtesy of singer-songwriter Brittney Wagner.
