Watercolor Haiga / David Jibson


This poem was featured at a fall meeting of the Poetry Society of Michigan. It was a response to a prompt from Elizabeth Kerlikowske, then president of the organization. “Write a poem giving someone advice. It could be an extended metaphor. And fun/clever/don’t even think of rhyming.”

My friends in Ludington, Michigan will recognize this place. A stay here is like travelling back in time (in a good way). This poem, originally pulished in 3rd Wednesday, is also in my collection, Protective Coloration, Kelsay Books, 2020.
