New Muse by Chad Norman

By League of Canadian Poets | August 15, 2022

Poet name: Chad Norman Poem name: New Muse Poem: To observe the gentleness, how the peanut-half is taken from fingers of a trusted hand,  she holds it with fierce paws to feed today’s autumnal hunger,   efficient jaws cause a chopping beat to accompany a leaf’s journey,  through periodic creaks a breeze teaches the birch tree how to play. End of poem.  Credits and bio: Copyright © Chad Norman Chad Norman lives beside the high-tides of the Bay of Fundy, Truro, Nova Scotia. He has given talks and readings in Denmark, Sweden, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, America, and across Canada. His poems appear in publications around the world and have been translated into Danish, Albanian, Romanian, Turkish, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Czech, Polish, Portugese, and Hungarian. His collections are Selected & New Poems ( Mosaic Press), and Squall: Poems In The Voice Of Mary Shelley (Guernica Editions). And Simona: A Celebration of the S.P.C.A. came out early 2021 from Cyberwit.net (India). And a new collection, A Matter Of Inclusion, is due out 2022 from Mwanaka Media and Publishing (Zimbabwe).
