elaine heveron: The Troble with Reading Your Poems (with apologies to Billy Collins)
http://elaineheveron.blogspot.com/2011/10/troble-with-reading-your-poems-with.html
Thursday, October 13, 2011. The Troble with Reading Your Poems (with apologies to Billy Collins). It’s not that I don’t trust you, but when I read your poems,. I wonder if that vase of fresh cut roses you describe. Could be fake – could be, that is, an imaginary vase,. Rather than one you actually see on your table. Is there really a gardenia-scented candle burning. In a darkening kitchen, as the sun sets over the pines outside? Or are you sitting on the couch, curtains drawn, an old. Articulating observ...

elaine heveron: Rearranging
http://elaineheveron.blogspot.com/2011/10/rearranging.html
Monday, October 10, 2011. I have wanted for ages to re-organize my books,. All the poetry together first? Religious and spiritual next to psychology? All the prize-winning novels and short story. All the hard covers, then the. No, look- I am arranging my. Books like a timeless dinner party, like. My friend Michael who places CD’s of. Mnext to other musicians he thinks. They might like to hang out with. This way T.S. Elliot gets to meet Rumi. At his Cocktail Party. Marquez and Haruki Murikami can talk.

elaine heveron: October 2008
http://elaineheveron.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 11, 2008. Now your words come. Tumbling out of the eaves. Like leaves from October. Maples, one minute. Waving goodbye to the sun. Shimmering in the sky,. In crimson and umber,. As if to say –I told you so. Do not take umbrage. With me. You wanted. The heat of Summer to wane;. You moaned and complained,. Like you do every year, though. I told you it would not last. Any longer than other years –. These days are numbered,. Like your life, whose. Are kept under wraps.

elaine heveron: Twelve Years; Twenty Lines
http://elaineheveron.blogspot.com/2011/10/twelve-years-twenty-linesit-was-twelve.html
Sunday, October 16, 2011. Twelve Years; Twenty Lines. It was twelve years yesterday. Since my father passed away. Light bulbs flicker off and on; I. Can’t see him, but he’s not gone. He loved the mysterious things. In life, the quiet and private jokes. With folks, the things we cannot see—. Twilight zone moments put that. Twinkle in his eye—the unexplainable. Is what made him smile. He would. Notice word-play and the deeper. Humor in things,. Like The Far Side,. Puns found here and there, or. Articulatin...

elaine heveron: August 2008
http://elaineheveron.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 13, 2008. National Women's Hall of Fame, Seneca Falls, NY. When we walked towards the. Outside wall, where The. Is engraved in stone, the. Sound of water running. Over the words slowed. Our pace as we paused to read,. And press our hands to the words:. 8220;We hold these truths to be self-evident,. That all Men and Women are created equal.”. Inside, we are stunningly. Greeted by life-size bronze. Not famous enough for. Writing and signing the. The right to vote for a.

elaine heveron: December 2008
http://elaineheveron.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 26, 2008. Under my heap of. And it was not. It was a post-. But as I reached up to. To rearrange my head. Wrap for a better view,. I realized it was only. An optical illusion—. On your coat rack. No coat racks—. And it is always. Too hot to hug. Friday, December 5, 2008. I tried to help you with chores;. But I bought the wrong brand,. The wrong size, the wrong color,. The wrong fabric—so many times. I remembered to get the red grapes,. But they were not seedless. I brought. And you were,.

elaine heveron: September 2008
http://elaineheveron.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 1, 2008. I used to be jealous of Landsdale Street. Its houses were slightly better. Than Benton Street houses–. Where I lived, just a few blocks away. Lansdale had gorgeous full-grown. Trees, and heat-calming shade. And man, those bragging Maples hustled Spring,. Rustled the nights of Summer along,. Flashed their couture every Fall. Then they shamelessly shed. Their bright burning leaves as the wind. Knocked Autumn to its knees –. And still I envied Landsdale Street –.
