    About this ebook

    Jim Emerton is a philosopher and a poet as well as an internationally known pigeon racing expert. His travels around the world and his explorations of the natural world
    near his home have given him endless material as he muses about the wonders and foibles of nature and the folly of man. His verses and epigrams cover everything from pigeons to pop stars and from stars to spirits. “We are all less than specks of dust, mere minnows in what is in here and what is out there.”

      Sacred Play

      Feb 27, 2024

      NATURE HAS ALWAYS soaked me in waterfalls of wonder. In a redwood forest, when I crawled into the hollow of an ancient tree and listened to its centuries of stories. By a lake, as I watched thousands of flamingos suddenly take flight. In the ocean, w

      Two Poems by Phillip B. Williams

      Dec 15, 2017

      The masters are yet dead. Wanting to be human,I tried to rewrite The Waste Land. The canon’s reachcasts ruinous light. The masters’ pens breachthis page where, above, my own hand spectates. Babylonrisen, exorcism in reverse, whose nature upended now?

      Four Poems

      Jan 1, 2021

      I learned the world through the bottoms of my feet, barein the creeks of summer, stepping on pebbles, the squidgeof moss between my toes. On hot asphalt, the hop and skipover cracks, feet already toughened by bramble, dirt, the pricklyground of pine

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      Oxygen In Ash

      Dec 15, 2021

      IN OUR first COVID summer, the fires outside Fort Collins, Colorado, burned so close that ash would fall from the sky—gentle as snowflakes, gentle as the dying leaves of the honey locust tree. All the clouds were smoke, a sulfur yellow and deep purpl

      Evaporative Losses

      Sep 15, 2020

      Breath travels. Our mouths are broken-open places—a house where only wind lives, searching the cupboards and closets. I replace your missing mouths with those of jars, mines, graves. What is gathered and dissipated by mouth? Once alternately filled a

      somewheres, some lifetimes ago I have run so far, so long.There is nowhere I haven’t beenBut here, in this field, a bodyLength from the ragged brinkThat gives way to forest.I collapsed here, the thin, hard slipOf me whittled at both ends.I want badly

      The Songs Of Streams

      Mar 5, 2022

      The narrow creek is twisty and so tight that sometimes my kayak bounces off the banks like a pinball. Walls of grass above my head block any sense of the greater surroundings. I come to a fork in this watery maze and don’t know which way to turn. But
