Peter Makuck: Two Poems
.
Left Someone left last night a cardboard box on our porch. I open the flaps— a bowl of milk, and two black kittens with light blue eyes.
.
Response Mockingbirds converse With a catchy song outside My study window, Maybe to prick my attention And prompt this response at last.
Peter Makuck’s many books include Mandatory Evacuations (BOA, 2016).

Ah, I love those two poems! Seemingly simple, right? But it’s that seemingly! The art of of to write the short, impactful poem is something that fascinates me! I’m a fan of these.
