Thanks to Maureen Carroll of Anamcara Press several of us are on a YouTube celebration of Poetry Month. Oh, drat, I forgot to copy the YouTube link. I'll have to retrace and get it.
I read one, no, actually two of my Friendship Fountain poems, one of which was published in the Summer 2023-24 issue of The Write Bridge, with the theme of Solitude and Solidarity.
Why did I write a poem about a Friendship Fountain?
Here it is: The Message
A gesture.
A message.
A fountain.
Dancing waters
blessing the air
with moisture.
Sun-worshipping sunflowers,
stalks of golden wheat,
flying birds atop the waters.
A gift from us
to the freedom-seeking
people of Ukraine.
A gesture, a message
the whole world
will understand.
