An April Approach to Frankfurt
An April Approach to Frankfurt
by Lori Lipsky
our taxi driver
showed no fear
as the speedometer passed 150
the speed of a highway
the approach to a modern European skyline
the tidiness of a city center
hundreds and hundreds
of well-ordered yellow daffodils
paired with pansies

After Mother’s Day, Two Poems
After Mother’s Day robins will get their worm flowers will have their turn eternal winter will finish firm— after Mother’s Day No Doubt Before the end of Winter Eternal the robins sang a deceptive song crocuses poked up their greens the Midwest smiled, then more snow fell…and more but Midwesterners know without a doubt eternity ends without a doubt and it’s safe to plant without a doubt since winter dies until next year without a doubt— after Mother’s Day *****
I was raised in southern Wisconsin, and I descend from a line of Iowan farmers. Growing up I learned that it’s never safe to plant until after Mother’s Day (and even then, you might be smart to wait a bit). These two poems are dedicated to my northern friends who’ve experienced snow this week. ~Lori
