Links to two long poems: One from Flowers of Shanidar entitled "Wild Flowers" and one from "Rainbows & Shadows" entitled "Idyll of March".
These two Poems were Written by Bobby Matherne
and because of their length, there were published in various DIGESTWORLD Issues.
[All were first published in Bobby's 1990 (F. of S.) and 1995 (R. & S.) Hardback Books of Poetry.]

Chapter: Violets
Wild Flowers Index

These poems are from Bobby Matherne's 1990 book of poetry, Flowers of Shanidar, which have recently been published on the Internet for the first time. Here is a long poem called "Wildflowers." It consists of snippets of poems (poemlets) that I liken to wild flowers, those tiny flowers which most people step upon without ever noticing their beauty. Each Part is like a small section of a large bouquet. Inhale deeply and begin by clicking on a poemlet.

Rainbows Chapter Idyll of March Poemlets Index









These poemlets are from Bobby Matherne?s 1995 book of poetry, Rainbows & Shadows, which have recently been published on the Internet for the first time. This is a long poem called "Idyll of March". It consists of snippets of poems (poemlets) which comprise a droll selection inspired by the malapropisms of Calvin Preston. If you don't laugh at one or more these, check your pulse: you may need a sense of humor transplant.
