Poetry Friday (R.A.P.): On the Fridge

January 23, 2009 by Erica Hale 5 Comments

We’re socked in with a disgusting inversion here. Our beautiful ring of mountains forms a bowl that fills with smog and causes the end of January and February to be….smog season. I hate smog. The world outside is a thousand shades of gray, visibility is poor, and it’s not safe to play or run outdoors. … [Read more…]

Poetry Friday (R.A.P.): Morketiden

January 9, 2009 by Erica Hale 7 Comments

This time of year starts to get the best of me around mid-January. The excitement of Christmas is over, the novelty of the snow and ice has worn off, and I start to long for the sun. I am a child of the North, and grew up accustomed to long winters, fairy-dust snow and sub-zero … [Read more…]

Poetry Friday (Random Acts of Poetry)

January 2, 2009 by Erica Hale 8 Comments

Doubt doubt swirls behind the shiny surface like the dark side of a mirror calling names pointing fingers asking what do you think you’re doing here? it pulls at my feet like slick fingers of tangled weeds unseen in the murky depths of the pond whispers the thousand ways i can’t and don’t and won’t … [Read more…]

Poetry Friday…Oasis

December 19, 2008 by Erica Hale 5 Comments

Oasis I dream of that sun-drenched land of sand and pomegranates the date palms, the olive trees bent and twisted with age I long for the solace, the heat of desert sun bending over quiet waters the running, rushing healing waters relief in this dry and weary land I miss the waters of En Gedi … [Read more…]

Poetry Friday…Writer’s Block

December 12, 2008 by Erica Hale 3 Comments

Writer’s Block Words sit like marbles in a mason jar on my desktop I reach for one the jar tips they scatter, clattering across blond oak like windblown leaves they take flight, roll off the desk bounce on the floor and disperse to the far ends of the earth I listen to the sound of … [Read more…]

Poetry Friday…Waiting Sky

December 5, 2008 by Erica Hale 5 Comments

Waiting Sky The sky holds its breath laden, heavy, waiting stone-gray and low hanging clouds of promise draped above us Torn-paper watercolor wash in blue-gray-black with black-ink trees etching their bare limbs against the promise of snow They wait, noses pressed to window studying fat drops of rain willing with their hearts water into snow … [Read more…]
