Hello, spring greetings from Westchester County. Cherry blossoms are blooming. I grew up in Mamaroneck where Harbor Island Park is famous for it’s profundity of Japanese cherry blossom trees lining the east and west basins. If you ever drive past Mamaroneck on US 1 Boston Post Road at this time of year, you can’t miss them.

 

It’s also National Poetry Month and to celebrate it I am offering free audio copies of Upwelling: Poems to my readers.   Go to https://freeaudiobookcodes.com/book/dd0816ee-9505-4d78-b0ab-4dc62d369a44

 

I’ll be sending out one more post later on in the month to promote a radio interview, so stay tuned. 😉

The following poem is included in the book.

HELIUM

By Ann Chiappetta

Anchored

Ribbon chafing

Impatient

 

Will I be crushed

By the sky?

 

Breeze tugs

Pulses rub

Release me

 

Lighter than air

Captured in Mylar

 

Bound for Olympia
