“Pods Rattle” by Diane Webster

Catalpa tree pods
rattle in November breeze
like Halloween skeleton
not yet removed
or hollow jingle bells
left unwrapped
till Christmas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Diane Webster’s goal is to remain open to poetry ideas in everyday life or nature or an overheard phrase and to write from her perspective at the moment. Many nights she falls asleep juggling images to fit into a poem. Her work has appeared in Philadelphia Poets, Illya’s Honey, River Poets Journal and other literary magazines.
