Dear Whispers’ Readers,
For this month’s archive column, I decided to explore Ralph
Stott’s March 2016 Activity. Ralph
challenged writers to share a creative view from “London Airport.” If you would like to read the rest of this
wonderful column, here is the link—
The archives column was born of a desire to showcase some of
the poetry from previous issues and to give our readers a glimpse of the talent
that is the fabric of Whispers. It is also a forum for me to promote the
writers that share their gift of words. With that being said, thank you all for
your encouragement and support.
Blessings,
Karen O’Leary
Whispers’ Editor

First and
Last Flight
as Icarus
was falling fast,
he landed
on a jet:
but then he
tried a para jump-
they
haven’t found him yet.

Landing
The wings
of Icarus are real
Stiff on
the white body of steel
Shuffle,
hustle, voices rustle
Bags, cases
and bodies bustle
The eagle
lands on summer land
Paper fans
held in dainty hands

I hope you enjoy this creative journey as much as I did.
There will be more activities headed by Michael Escoubas in the coming months. I hope you takes these opportunities to grow
and connect with our writing community.
