Unseen by Phil Huffy

A poet with a camera

may have brought too much along,

for what she sees no image has portrayed

and her perceptive vision

is not likely to be shared

if just her inspiration is relayed.

Her words when finely crafted

are resplendent in their tone,

as any careful reader will surmise

and demonstrate much more than

the summation of her words,

which is, of course, just where her talent lies.

Phil Huffy writes early and often at his kitchen table in upstate New York. He is frequently published, with pieces recently seen in or pending with Schuykill Valley Journal, Snakeskin, Hedge Apple, Halcyon Days and The Lyric.

Cold Rain / Hay Wheels Upright by Phil Huffy

cold rain

winter’s exit music

plays on and on

hay wheels upright

Stonehenge

for livestock

Phil Huffy thinks on his feet and writes at the kitchen table.  When he tried the other way around he kept writing about food. Recent placements include Orchards Poetry, The Lyric, Sarasvati (UK) 50 Word Stories and several haiku journals.
