elysabeth faslund Poems

Did you believe in good nightmares?
I tell you demons hide behind every
Tree, every blade of sculptured grass...
...

Ice on two continents.
One life.
Trails of Mammouths'
Shadow ending.
...

Viking Voyage


For lo! The forty four grey cast away
...

Sunlit rain drips Spring
With diamonds'
Fire...
...

Jedediah traveler robed, rendering Bard...
Speak not money to Oracles, or
Guilt to cowards fluxing, flexing, waxing
Vociferous, cornered...
...

Dancing sands of the Celebration!
Step, step, round, and twirl...
Tilting aisles of Andromeda...we,
Leaving, learning, fixing

Which casts the shadows
Where dreaded things wait.
The sun is not our protector nor

Why go on a diet, when you...
Know ice cream will freezer burn.
If you DON'T buy the Milky Way bar...
That company will close down tomorrow.
...

I follow one trail, another,
Ending sharply
In these woods.
Crunching last Fall's
...

Poetry that is controversial
Is seldom very convivial
To everyone...
