Skyward Bursts--By Diane Webster--United States

Skyward Bursts

Doves burst skyward

like campfire flames

with detached embers

floating feather-like.

Coos echo from trees

much like logs popping

with fire.

  

Diane Webster's goal is to remain open to poetry ideas in everyday life or nature or an overheard phrase. Many nights she falls asleep juggling images to fit into a poem. Her work has appeared in Philadelphia Poets, Illya's Honey, River Poets Journal and other literary magazines.
