Esther Stenstrom Poems

Houses built around the lake
With "no trespassing" signs
Where was once our swimming hole
Country Club meets and dines
...

"How much is the palm with the seven trunks
The one that's twisted and scarred?"
The buyer asked of the landscape man-
"You know, with the trunks all marred?"
...

Send the winds.
Send Your strong gale
To ruffle my unkempt hair
Causing strong force to press
...
