Kenneth Hudson’s ‘Writing Poetry’

 

Writing Poetry

 

Kenneth Hudson

 

 

A long green caterpillar
undulating along a tree leaf
reaching an edge
cautiously stretches out
into the space ahead
swaying
bobbing up and down
weaving side to side
many legs moving gently
probing
for the next solid place
to put its feet
the next step to take.

 

Sheri Wills’s from ‘nature morte’

Nature Morte: An image depicting inanimate objects; a still life; a
reminder of the ephemerality of all things. A recovered record of the
everyday; a requiem for the unimportant, for the individual’s story; an
exhaltation of the minor narrative.
