In celebration of National Poetry Month – 

Throughout the month we will feature several poems by Runoia poets, enjoy!

From the 1977 Log
Come with me to smell the salt air
to watch the gulls wheel and dive against
a sky of steel blue
to hear a bell buoy clanging in the soft night air
And follow me to a mountain top vividly outlined
against the morning sky
a lake
hidden among the rocks and trees
Talk with me about growing and learning
share your thoughts
strengthen your ideals
Site with me beside a campfire
