make a halo, a wreath, a circlet of bright green aspen leaves. Crown your dismal thoughts & unruly feelings with a tiara of thyme. Find small red things, a cranberry or rosehip or yew berry to trim your sorrow-filled week, to be the eyes that your eyes can’t see out of. With grass dew, paste a rose petal on your forehead, and smear a lick of honey ...
I stood at the gates— The Roknabad Stream murmured through Mosalla Gardens (2) Roses scattered the morning breeze The sea kissed the boat and waved at the palace The king smiled at sycophant ghazals I was the bard— the blood of the city— the breath of God— Centuries later they would say that I loved Shiraz (3) But I feared tempests and remained tru...
Begin carefully as you approach your writing with empirical rigor. Dutifully perform linguistic algebra to solve for each unknown stanza. Slice open etymological cadavers to replicate their emotion-generating genome. You, a logician cloaked in artistry, have mastered the mechanics of poetic calculus. Stifle a sigh when your calculations and dissect...
You who loved the daisied fields, behold this calving. No bleat, no blood on the straw, no salt-warm lick to life-affirming, long-legged wobble. This is ice, her abandoned spawn, her sundering cleavages brilliant under the sun, the thunderous drop, the plunge, bucking and rearing in aqua slurry, now groaning in the violence of labour, now the slap ...

Originally Published inIn The Event of True Happiness A member of The Writers Union of Canada, and Associate Member of the League of Canadian Poets, Harry Posner is the author of six books and two spoken word CDs. Harry was Duff...
A tradition for life, for death, and everything in between. Narrowed into a warm bowl, with an emerald glow, and dark leaves. My vision is adjusted to the shades, the intricacy of the recipe, and history. A year of life passes, another bowl filled, and the aroma of vitality pollutes the day. The broth of sea, greens of the water, and a reminder of ...
I did not know that’s why they were there, suddenly, and everywhere, in the trees and on the sidewalks, inconsequential and familiar, yet sparkling, like perfect round jewels with the most remarkable prismatic calls. Like a brook, winding through winter and spring, spilling across cities and mountains and along the Atlantic and before every window ...
The kitchen window is on the left with the sink in front— you could draw an outline in chalk, on the cushioned tile (with: arms, pinky toes, appendix, intestines, hemoglobin, ferritin) but it may not help in the end. Turn the room on its side to shift your heart into a new position one where blood either pools or flows like a river that runs both w...
I cobble together some shape like stars, gas cloud of spangles, sensory noise a beautiful typeface of serifed angels and italicized galaxies. That year declines to cohere. I’m out of practice even at reaching for the right shelf to take down fragments rattling in their sealer jar. Bright ring and clamouring disk with its ovoid dance on tabletop or ...
There are days we live as if death were nowhere in the background; from joy to joy to joy, from wing to wing, from blossom to blossom to impossible blossom, to sweet impossible blossom. —“From Blossoms,” Li-Young Lee You stand at the threshold to the west coast forest. In the sky, wild geese align south-bound flight; on the ground, wind gusts thres...
