Welcome to the Poet’s Corner!

by Madeline Sonik


Planning the Poet’s Corner
On an autumn afternoon
Everyone gathered
To excite and
Summon far reaching imaginings

Contained in the seeds
Of our last issue, and all that had come before
Rushing forward, like a ripe river or a life
Never doubting the miracle or magic,
Everything our minds could conceive,
Restless, without shores.

What I know now is that
Electricity is present in every word
Life and action
Come together, in a space,
On a corner, that is not a place, but a
Moment, an
Entrance
