The OED word of the day for the erasure poem | commentary is 'fascia.'

longing

armed with Flowers
but Longing for May
and the possibility of sun

. . . . . . . .

Quite disappointed that the OED word of the day for the erasure poem | weather commentary is 'double.' Really, lads? That's the best you could come up with for the royal wedding day?

Had a great time sketching in Volunteer Park, as the Cornish drama department was staging a boisterous production of "As You Like It" right behind me in the small meadow.

starfish

under the pier
a tird of pale orange starfish
reimagine the sun

. . . . . . . .

The OED word of the day is clamper, which did not lend itself to a poem, so MY word of the day is tird: the name for a group of starfish.

The spellchecker doesn't believe either one of them is a word! :)

the crux

belief is the crux

April clearly
has no intention
of committing

. . . . . . . .

The OED word of the day for the erasure poem | commentary is 'politicide.'

immaterial things

Poems join with Sketches
I went beyond the walls
to entertain mine eye
with the Paradise
of immaterial things

Silence is an embryo
dwelling in the Poems
I sit Belonging to Now
Nobody & Somebody

. . . . . . . .

The OED word of the day for the erasure poem|commentary is 'suburb,' the usage of which goes back to the 14th century.

the Sun

in spring
the Sun when it shines
is a glorious flower itself

. . . . . . . .

The OED word of the day is the totally unusable 'macker,' so with the help of my library card that gives me access to the OED, I have chosen my own word for the erasure poem: tulip. I'm sure that the Oxford lads would have done so themselves if they were aware of the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival.

crazily

life
crazily steadied on planks
of old rusty sense

. . . . . . . .

The OED word of the day for the erasure poem is 'resurrection.'

spring

Worth tedious Volumes of Poetry,
spring is a delicate Light
of Life just begun

. . . . . . . .

The OED word of the day for the erasure poem is 'sonnet.'

the artistic ozone

there was a flatness
In the artistic ozone

how one longs For ideas

in the stupefied silence,
the ordinary present so well constructed,

the problems are due to what we know

. . . . . . . .

The OED word of the day for the erasure poem | commentary is 'ozone.'

Hasta luego

Winter was finally over.
Adiós.
Hasta luego.
Go jump in the nearest lake.

Nobody minded.

We see a little,
presume a great deal,
and jump to the Conclusion
that there is a spring

Only time will tell.

. . . . . . . .

The OED word of the day for the erasure poem | weather commentary is 'jump.'
