“Natural Woman” Digital Collage Art “Covid Creations” by Susie Clevenger
Through each phase
of the moon, fireflies
gleaming like drops
of gold stained glass
circle fabric of the
skies. Free floaters
weave themselves into
her hair, listening
to trill of songbirds,
watching dance of
wildflowers.

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York.
My goal is to create and share poetry with others
who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve
in you, and feel your sparks as well.
At first when I read your title I saw “Gleaning” and thought of Ruth and others scrounging for food or food money.. All afternoon I have been thinking of the “bird in the hand” and here she would be jealous of the fireflies and the other birds.

This is one of your finest, Sara. And may I add, I love when comments appear days and days after I have posted a poem … like an unexpected gift.

A tapestry poem inspired by a (digital) tapestry. You captured that point in image, beautifully, and then pulled us into it. Well done!
