Paul has included three of my poems in this book, including -

Weathers

This is the weather the vampire shuns,

And so do I;

When across the green meadow there clearly comes

A starling`s cry;

And lakes brightly mirror the heaven`s blue,

And cats under hedges the days slumber through,

And the monsters lie hidden from people like you...

And so do I.

This is the weather the vampire likes,

And so do I;

When lightning shivers its crooked spikes

Across the sky;

And a thunderous canonshot sunders the clouds,

And the dead deep in vaults softly stir in their shrouds,

And werefolk gather in whispering crowds...

And so do I.

This 420-page compendium of poems features an index of first lines, an index of poets and an index of poem-types, so if you're looking for tanka on the night sky, search no further... It's a great resource for teachers.
