New Muse by Chad Norman

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.
