“Saturday Sounds”
Today, you can HEAR me read my poem…
“A Moment of Calm”
by Lynda McKinney Lambert
A Moment of Calm
(Homage to Max Ernst)
A crooked blue sun
in a wide sky
tumbles
through blue, green, yellow
Impaled
on spiky green stems.
Blackbirds squat low
shout at the alligator
resting in the dark corner
watching for more
pinks and reds in the middle.
A lone Dragonfly passes through
a painted arch
relaxing
a moment of calm.

“A Moment of Calm,” published in Concerti: Psalms for the Pilgrimage by Lynda Lambert, on page 83.
