A New Cycle of Life
by Lori Jean Finnila
The horns are blowing to the sky fold
innocence is crushed below.
Screaming, peeks through the night
I can see from eight floors up.
Those crawling, begging, pleading
wishing they were where you are.
Tap, tap, tap
rattle, rattle, rattle
it brings
uncertainty.
Prays and yelps from the church
swings that bring new delight
the whale calls
stomp, chuckle
tap, tap, chuckle
tap, tap again
a smile begins.
The wind moves with no explanation
it's strong
shook my windows last night
I feared the cold.
The trees at the tops blow around
pointed buildings blend with the rain
tap, tap again
the man below smiles.

The
Crazy Sun Shines
Poems by Lori Jean
Finnila
1rst
the trees,
brash with leaves
they will not fly
away
tonight
chocolate sprinkles
are sweet
small, poignant
are they
crisp
delight is ecstasy
corners are sharp
edges are dull
circles are round
Wheels turn
The morning breaks
Thumps on the roof
Remind me of this
Cars, trucks
Or at least motors
Rustle in the
streets
Slacks of sheets so
slick
Take the air
Sand dumps
Engines roar
Another city morning
2nd
Flower still
be still for me
under the sheet
cornered on the
chair
Your pink and white
blue, dark green
detailed crisp
shadowed by edges
cornered by rounds
enveloped in some
grayish at times
drifting lovely
below like a fall
the completion at
the end
jumps up again
3rd
three lines cross
six
though the third
is a quarter of the
way here
the second is half
the third almost
full shown
but separated by a
fourth
that shows at the
bottom
six show like church
pipes
the dip points
to the corner window
as the sun shines in
