New Show 

by
Michael Blake 

Tossing poems like grass seed to the new season

Like the pink magnolia profusion

Heralding the new budding warmth

Here for the moment and then scattered,

Shouting color and life to the slow thawing,

The all too brief celebration

(But there’s the power, too, the flare)

Of the flowing juices, the sudden desires,

The call to share, to let loose.

 

Flooded that dry and cracked terrain

That winter weary mental landscape

In need of this injection

The old skin shed,

The metamorphosis,

The poet letting his butterflies go

Problems Encountered by the Armchair Sports Fanatic

byScott Derry The armchair sports fanatic has historically anticipated his young daughter’s birthdays with tremendous energy and enthusiasm. Regardless of their size, the parties held in her honour have included all of the customary fun associated with such events: a cake with the appropriate number of candles burning during its presentation in a darkened room, guests singing happy birthday to the too-excited-because-she’s-the-centre-of-attention birthday girl (which nobody begrudges at her tender age), an assortment of gifts of varying sizes, fun games like pass the parcel and musical statues, and all the laughter and noise of such an occasion. When an important sporting fixture has coincided with his daughter’s birthday (or the day of her party, which, for reasons of convenience, have all previous years been held on a Saturday and which thus have rendered clashes with important sporting fixtures unavoidable), it hasn’t been inconvenient for the armchair sports fanatic to watch such…

Flight Plan

byRichard To Maximo French's daughter remained nameless until she learned to speak. When she was born, his girlfriend named her Eleos, the goddess who personified clemency and compassion. She looked at her child so lovingly that he hoped she'd change her mind about leaving. She said this tiny being in her arms was the most amazing, beautiful thing she'd ever witnessed. A week later he watched her leave on a plane to Japan. They agreed not to stay in contact. She never existed. She was a figment of his imagination. Their last night was spent in a mortuary basement where they burned photos, gifts and anything that reminded them of themselves.

Because Maximo believed his daughter required regular sunlight, he took her for daily walks in parks and trails where strangers would compliment his daughter's b…
