Diane Webster

Millennia Siblings
 
Like a ventriloquist
my whoop echoes
between the canyon walls
created millennia ago
when pterodactyls
glided between monoliths
and searched for siblings
cawing from crevices.
 
Ravens flutter from shadows
disturbed by my shouts
mingling with theirs
as sounds confetti upward
to lie silent on the canyon rim
like fossils laid to rest
when the asteroid crashed.

 

Diane Webster's goal is to remain open to poetry ideas in everyday life, nature or an overheard phrase and to write. Diane enjoys the challenge of transforming images into words to fit her poems. Her work has appeared in El Portal, North Dakota Quarterly, New English Review and other literary magazines. She also had a micro-chap published by Origami Poetry Press in 2022.
