Spring

If you like this, you should tweet about it:

New red bark replacing
winter's dry red berries.

Iridescent feathering,
fluffing & strutting of the blackbirds.
If it were cloudy the whole season
they'd have no hatching.

The pleasure of fitting stone to finger,
one quick flick of the wrist & it spins
skipping over the water
splashes giving into ripples.

I only throw the flat ones.
They make more splashes per capita,
slower to fill up the river.

John T. Unger poet

I'm best known as an artist and designer. Relaxing makes me tense, so I tend to put in a lot of hours on diverse projects.

Before becoming a visual artist, I spent 15 years as a poet. I studied poetry at Interlochen Arts Academy, Naropa, Stone Circle and on the streets. I performed my work for years at Stone Circle, solo shows, poetry readings, and at Lollapalooza in 1996.

I still write poems, but only if I can make them fit the constraints ofTwitter.
