Thank you Tiny Seed Literary Journal for featuring my poem this week.

Click here to read Lamentations of an Orchid.

The poem appears in Poetry of the Wildflowers from Tiny Seed Press.

If you’re on Long Island Monday, July 17th (7:00 pm), please join us for an evening of poetry under the stars. It’s part of the Summer Gazebo Reading Series (hosted by Oceanside Library and the Kiwanis).

The location: Oceanside, Long Island (Schoolhouse Green, Foxhurst Road).

I’ll be one of the featured poets along with Richard Vetere, Robert Savino, and Lisa James.

Hope to see some of you there! Oh, and bring a lawn chair! xo m

First Blossom

Upon the hill of Calvary

a tree, a cedar grows

Its roots were planted long ago

its sap, a crimson rose

Deep within the earth – a shaking

in highest halls of heaven’s – waking

as a tender shoot of love emerges

and mighty sower-spirit surges

through this messy muck of earth

praise, first blossom of rebirth

— Mary C. M. Phillips
