Doughnuts At Night, Michael Martone
Doughnuts At Night, Michael Martone
Manuscripts
Open, it says, all night.
the tacky lights talk
flicking around the yawning O
and the open hole of the doughnut.
a planet peers through.

Of Sap And Tears, Diane Hale
Of Sap And Tears, Diane Hale
Manuscripts
I sit in the woods
and watch the stream
admiring the trees as they ripple and flow
Waves sweep us in,
lulled into dream-sleep,
carrying us away--
content to settle beneath the gentle caress
certain to end as we began
The Surrender, Diane Hale
The Surrender, Diane Hale
Manuscripts
Light revolves
patterning grey age faces
in flashing momentary brilliance--
exposing shadow dreams
of victorious kingdoms
built in bottle caps
the shrapnel of hope's treachery--
to be swept away with
debris of belief

The Hairy Arms Poem Or The Love Song Of J. Alfred Poofrock, Mary Harter
Manuscripts
I have encountered "The Love Song of J. Alfred Poofrock" in three different college English classes taught by three different teachers. They all agree that T. S. Eliot wrote the poem. On everything else they disagree.

I took a course in aesthetics:
Three hours credit
If I could learn
What a poem was.

Ode To A Jukebox, Rosemary Haviland
Ode To A Jukebox, Rosemary Haviland
Manuscripts
Oh fat gleaming monster reposing in the corner
With your soul glowing like satan's fires,
Whence have you come to destroy life's peaceful existence;
To tempt youth and put new lines in the seers' brows?
Like the roaring blasting furnace, you require nourishment,
Taking pity on your pangs of hunger, I'll feed you a nickle,
Ungrateful one! There you sit with your polished sides gleaming,
Smug and satisfied like a fat Buddha.
Slowly you devour my offering,
And as it reaches your digestive system,
You gr--rr-owl and gr--rr-Ind;
Instead of a soft crooning thanks, you stab at me with a …
Sonnet, Lucy Kaufman
Sonnet, Lucy Kaufman
Manuscripts
Now let the sweeping clouds of spring be gone
forever from these wild perfidious skies,
and let no more a laughing sun mask dawn
with psuedo-joy to veil its mocking lies.
No more the solitude of swinging space
stretching through the unrecorded hours,
marks alone time's lofty ponderous pace
across this heaven and above these towers.
Now you will see a servile sky defer
at dusk before a dark-winged enemy,
and you will hear the low portentous purr
of planes announcing death decorously.
No more can nights which swept the heavens clean
of war, within these shell-shocked skies be seen.

Once from Carthage Dido's funeral pyre
Signalled Aeneas that his dream was ended
And all his hour of passion purged by fire,
By fire of brand and fire of spirit blended.
The way the gods had marked once more seemed best
And he was free to found the destined race
That sprang from Troy but settled in the West
With trojan greatness in the Roman place.
Again from Carthage sails the founding host
Again toward Rome the guided legions sail
To build a newest Troy upon the coast
That held Aeneas in the older tale.
But now the guides are …
November With The World At War, Mary M. Schortemeier
November With The World At War, Mary M. Schortemeier
Manuscripts
November with the world at war
Is a strange sight
And a frightening thing.
When the leaves die and the headlines scream
Of more important deaths it is so evident
What death is.
And when the darkness hours are almost twice
The light, it is far too easy to guess how it would be
With the dead.
And when a lame bird is all that is left
Of the summer singers it is plain what the world would be
After all the deaths.
And the cold wind and the first snow
Chill the soul like the final kiss on the …

D Minor, Jean Siskel
D Minor, Jean Siskel
Manuscripts
With stealthy passion
The music filled the room,
Brushing with mystic melody
His throbbing heart.
Outside the stony window frames
Were trees,
Rustling excitedly,
Bowing with frantic grace.
Do trees have hearts? Can they too
Feel the stirring touch of tone?
For trees, there is wind;
For men, music.
On Nantucket Sound, Lucy Kaufman
On Nantucket Sound, Lucy Kaufman
Manuscripts
Do you recall the morning on Nantucket Sound
when white wind whipped our sails against the August sun,
when we stood tanned and laughing, loving the sea, and bound
for any port or none?
Do you recall that out from the tiny towns which lay
along the coast, came salty strangers seeking cod,
tanned and laughing as we, plundering the bay
with net and fishing rod?
Do you recall that when the west waxed pink again
homeward we turned the tiller, and as we came around
with sails set full for shore, lights flashed from a world forgotten
on Nantucket …
Dry Leaves, Mary M. Schortemeier
Dry Leaves, Mary M. Schortemeier
Manuscripts
In stealth
Stalking its prey
Winter is creeping
Groping its way.
Today
Summer is reigning.
Only the dry leaves
Show it is waning.
Too soon
Comes one final leap
For winter - for summer
Only to weep.
Today
My heart is young.
Dry leaves for me?
From mortals I'm sprung.
Flamingos, Lucy Kaufman
Flamingos, Lucy Kaufman
Manuscripts
Far through the jungle, bird cries mark night's end.
Eastwardly the sky is streaked with pink,
and near the water's edge black orchids bend
beneath webbed-feet, as white flamingos drink.
Deep among the spindling silent stalks
which border banks surrounding the lagoon
wet reeds stir, and a tall flamingo walks
infringing on the sleep of afternoon.
Flamingos showing silver in the night
fly far above the jungle toward the west,
and following a star's transluscent light
at length reach home, and white flamingos rest.
