Palmer's Perspective


Doug Palmer continues to create some sort of new poetic form. I have not fully grasped it yet, its' simplicity, its' cleverness and unique perspective.

Gloom of night.

Had too much coffee and cake yesterday -
Stayed up all night -
Read one and a half books -
Watched the sun come up -

And disappear.

Doug Palmer


Blue sky


Blue sky.
Eagles in the trees -
Blue sky.
Little yellow flowers in the lawn -
Blue sky.
Little red ones in the camellia bush -
Blue sky
Genius -
Blue sky.
Forty years of hard work -

Blue sky.

Guten Tag
