In the inky black street
Their fat, knobbly feet
Stomp a rhythm that makes the earth shake.

DPF / Wyncoop

Double poems today, because this one’s especially for my eerily-talented critique group of yore. This one’s from our own Laura, who is also one of the editors of the book in which the poem appears. The book is An Eyeball in My Garden, (2010), recently out in paperback, appropriate for brave 5th graders to adult, and edited by two amazing women, Laura Wyncoop and Jennifer Cole Judd.

As dangling ghosts untie their strings
To float among the trees
