Poetry Moments--By Cynthia Sidrane--United States

clouds thick as mortar
but wind-carved chinks of blue sky
mean it might not rain

As a desert and mountain dweller and avid hiker, Cynthia Sidrane’s poetry is inspired by the wild, remote and rugged beauty of Arizona deserts, and the Sky Island mountain ranges that rise like miracles from them. Her poems have been published online, and in print, including two short-form poetry anthologies: Pay Attention, A River of Stones and A Blackbird Sings.

  1. Cynthia,
    A good few "poetry moments". As a bird-lover, I really liked the last two.
    Your new friend,

  2. Dear Cynthia,

    I tried several times to notify you by email of the publication of your poetry but the link won't connect and get a permanent fail message. Please send me another address I can use to contact you. Thank you.

    Blessings,
    Karen

    1. Hi Karen...I think my q.com email can be problematic. You may contact me at azcanyonwren@gmail.com instead. I will try to remember to correspond with you from that address from now on.

      Thank you for sharing my haiku poems on Whispers...

      Peace,
      Cynthia
