Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.


Enga mellom Fjella




Sentinel

         Marked
                   as if you own me
I bow before the Bitterroots
and just like you
                   my rocky soil, my withered grass
                   lays prey to the empty sky.

Thinking of Cubby's June prompt for "Chapter One" Open in new Window..

Baseball in Grass Image

Waiting for Jack

Forgotten among the faded-to-sepia zoysia, all color drained after Summer fled south... one lone baseball faces the coming cold and Jack Frost's arrival. Will Jack want to play ball?

         silence on the field —
         a round object hidden
         by bleached out grass

Kåre Enga [180.52] (3.juni.2023)

I wonder whether I could make this go somewhere? *Bigsmile* I write/do bittersweet better than humor. *Smirk2* I imagine Pollyanna putting bandages on her scars after getting hit by a bat. *Shock* Horror, not my preferred genre, would entail tearing them off again after they're infected with maggots. *Shock2* Fortunately, Jack, Pollyanna's brother, is fond of her. *Smile* Will he pick up the ball? *Think* Ah... Chapter 2.
