Cherry-brown burl reaches up in angles past spring grass and onlookers in blues and yellows (vague and unimportant) past grey tree trunks whose only role is to carry a firmament of silver and citrine cloud-petals past all this and up to a cinnamon sky that serves as backdrop for the occasional albescent cup-petaled plum blossom tousled faces that turn this way and that. Taunja Thomson Taunja Thomson’s poetry has most recently appeared in Peacock Journal and Half-Baked. Two of her poems have been nominated for Pushcart Awards: “Seahorse and Moon” in 2005 and “I Walked Out in January” in 2016. She has co-authored a chapbook of ekphrastic poetry that is due out in May of 2017 and has a writer’s page at HYPERLINK "https://www.facebook.com/TaunjaThomsonWriter" https://www.facebook.com/TaunjaThomsonWriter. A worshiper of nature, her summers are filled with water gardening, and her winters are spent obsessively feeding the birds and other wildlife that appear in her one-acre slice of heaven, a field.
