who graduated in our Short Story and Fiction Writing program, wrote
us in March 1996 to inform us one of her poems had been published in The
National Library of Poetry:
Images
Mid-September air hits like the bite of a
crisp, red apple
6 a.m. darkness yearns for morning light
Autumn revitalization of spirits bring spurts
of new found energy
...you are a squirrel that rushes to
prepare for winter
Here a nut, there a nut everywhere a nut, nut
Crunching, coloured leaves crackling underfoot
fall from near naked trees
Whiffs of roasting turkey send prayers of
Thanksgiving, on wings,
to heaven.
Alas! Autumn disappears.
