Postcard Poem

Cassie Lewis has published a series of chapbooks which are composed of poems written on actual postcards between two poets — the first set were between Ms. Lewis and Del Ray Cross.

I've also written various postcard poems, off & on, most of which were actually mailed. I thought it would be fun to create a postcard poem in html format, which could be viewed by everyone. Here's the full postcard.

And here's the poem sans card:

---

The library boat arrives today
macaws chatter in the trees
I built a penitential fire at noon
Played solitaire with
cards made from coconut leaves
Then sang the afternoon shade
