Serenity, peace,
a figurative sculpture
where quiet words float.
Writer’s literary muse
watching over her shoulder.

My daughter, Vanessa, gave this beautiful sculpture to me as a Mother’s Day gift. She said it was my new literary muse to stand on my desk next to me while I’m writing.
Visit www.willowtree.info to find out more about Susan Lordi’s handcrafted figurative sculpture, which is designed to “speak in quiet ways to heal, comfort, protect and inspire”.
Dawn breaks in the east.
From the tall oak in the woods,
owl’s too-wit too-woo;
such a homely sound to me,
but to the mouse a terror.

Metallic winter
enhanced by rhododendrons
— rejuvenation —
an old woman with grey hair
wearing neon pink lipstick.
National Grid alert
Christmas stomping on the world
an unwanted gift
their electricity bill
our indefinite future
Besieged on all sides,
chimneys whistle, timbers creak–
December gale.
Beyond, in cardboard city,
lie papier-mâché homes.
