Sunday Short: 'Poetry: Five' by Carl Adamschick

I picture him
in the plastic lawn chair
at the head of the driveway

a thistle growing
in the crack beside his beer bottle

leaving a wet ring
on the blonde cement

The tenuous frail night
landing like a paper airplane
in a field of high corn
Man, there's something about good poetry that's just, well, good. These five poems by Carl Adamschick beautifully rotate themes of longing and loss, with such compelling imagery to boot. Feel all the things.
