THAT SAME SUN & Other Poetry

By Dave Blanchard

Stories from a lifetime of confrontation and romance, some brutal and some exquisite, some light-hearted and some breathtaking.

Because most other poetry just sucks.

Featured again recently with the Society of Classical Poets, my poetry has (from my MBA days), a 'distinct competitive advantage': it is memorable and, where needed, beautiful. Rhyme and meter, once soaring, now dismissed to a vanishing point? Maybe it can make a comeback.

Here's the title poem. Hope you enjoy.

That Same Sun

Now frowning at that same sun that she tamed,
Her lovely visage lifted from the east,
The day behind, at last-another framed
In herds of heat, each wave of wildebeest

Small thanks for several of the same, procured;
Perhaps content, again unsatisfied
She turns now towards the dusk; a smaller herd,
The restless lion, and her stubborn pride.
