Could be titled: This is peace.
Reminds me of the calm peace of childhood when we five kids minded our manners as mother asked.
Suggests to me a world of peace where a missile oxymoronically proudly named “Peacekeeper” is only a fictional prop in a horror flick where men war with men, a fiction nightmare more frightening than a vampire or werewolf.

About Me

“I’m a retired Humanities professor, published essayist, poet, painter, singer, and old-time fiddle musician living on an historic two-hundred-acre farm in Eastern Oregon. I plant gardens for pollinators and revel in insects, bird dogs, donkeys, goats, cats, and American fantail and roller pigeons. My lyric landscapes are oak savannah, prairie, and riparian. Writing poetry gives me a way to express and question the rhythms I hear. My chapbook The Beautiful One’s Ark (2024) is available through The Poetry Box and online bookstores. Sher Poetry celebrates poetry as an oral language art. Each week I’ll share a poem from some of my work or from that of other poets who I love to hear.
