flame in the cup
when you wake
you know the

and an old monk
the bees dream
and when you

Kerrin P. Sharpe is a teacher of creative writing and has recently returned to her own writing, now that her four children are older. She is a contributor to Snorkel #5 and Takahe 61. Of ‘Flame in the Cup’, Sharpe writes: “This poem is based on a picture I saw of a group of bee-keeping monks walking across a field.” Of ‘In Memory of Mary Jane Bennett’: “I’m fascinated by light-houses and in this poem explored the idea of living in one through someone who had.” Of ‘Using Air and Wind’: “I wanted to write a poem based on a set of scientific drawings. I had in mind an early hot air balloon but this poem emerged.” |
