To Provincetown, with Love

The poets among us


February 8th, 2010

Last week, I asked the talented readers of Notes from Lands End to write Haiku poems on love and Valentines Day. Here are the sumptuous offerings of delicious words written by you!

Here are the sumptuous offerings of delicious words written by you.

Lying in warm sheets.

Smiling at a tender touch.

Oops, time to get up! - Adam Samuels, visionary


Heavy birds of snow
Drop from trees, from these lit bones
I spill to your throat.
-Alice Neily, poet

Snow falling softly.
Ice sheaths rocks and marsh grasses.
Moon and tides circle.
-Betsy Terrell, goddess

Bliss
Milkweed feathers float
High on sunny thermal streams
Know not yet of rain.
-Court, epicurean

Spring blossoms peeking.
Love awakens sleeping heart
Joyous days begin – G.Thornton Hunter, printmaker

Haitians need love to prove
We be each others destiny
Contribute to life
It’s too short to be little – maebush, Provincetown treasure

Painter comes to me
His lips brush against my soul
Ah sweet masterpiece. – Patrick Maloney, artist

snow gently falling
leaning to the morning light
the flower opens. – Rosemary Hillard, angel

I lick your nipples
tension mounting, beads of sweat
passion erupting – Timothy Babcock, actor

a boy in a bar
once smiles for me in the dark
just the beginning – Tom Gladwell, Renaissance man

Paintings from the Provincetown Art Association and Museum round out this Provincetown Valentine to us!
