eclogue
Meaning: a poem in which shepherds converse

Thank you, Merriam Webster, for this entry. But, seriously? What a niche genre!!! Would any one care to submit a poem in this style?

(untitled)

longing for the sound
whip-poor-will on the back stoop
singing summer nights

rain like drums

i am terrified
i am scared
i am not centered
time is roaring past me
i need to stop
and see
i need to feel
i need to be

unease

I am not centered.
I am scared.

5:00 a.m.

clear mind of chatter
focus on lilting bird song
early spring morning
