My poems: Turtles & Birdsong

Turtles: a cinquain by okapi

turtles
sunning themselves
on a limb in the lake
running past, I count them, seven
spring-signs

Birdsong: a rondelet by okapi

in the morning
the poet says listen for birds
in the morning
listen to them, here them forming
before open eyes, before words,
a bright chorus, in trills and thirds,
in the morning
