Poetry of Dorothy Epp

When we were dreaming leopards stalked the city engines stalled left us stranded you slid under a rock while I circled the cliffs I had no appetite for mice but you would swallow them whole and simile in your cozy way. At the end of the raspberry row where the fences join the barn a walnut tree spreads across their shadows and miles away where the field ends a train with cars named BC Rail Alberta Grain and Saskatchewan hoots at me as it takes the tracks to the last station in Canada D.H.E.

These, I believe, are two separate excerpts from larger poems, is that right?

Lovely Dorothy - I admire your talent. Are you going to post the poems in their entirety here?

Welcome to Spring, Dorothy and Thank You for sharing your talent with those of us who are only able to appreciate genius and not to create it. More please!

Very enigmatic, Dorothy - cool! Was that a smile or a simile in the first verse? :-)

yes these were two seperate poems. Thanks for the comments.

They are wonderful poems Dorothy, I hope to see more of your works here and have a discussion about your goals as a writer and what you are doing. Can you tell us about the poetry group that you attend?

Yes....Please!

http://www.spring.net/poems is a place that I helped Dorothy set up for her poetry. She plans to rotate poems in and out of there on a regular basis.

Thanks!
