About this ebook
Elderberry Wine, Vintage 2010 is an anthology of student writing from the Mature Learning Program at Clark College in Vancouver, Washington, offers something for everyone. The pieces in this collection range from Poetrysonnets and haiku, free verse, meter and rhyme; to fiction both fanciful and serious; and nostalgia for the past and visions of the future.
Come along on adventures in a swampy town in the American South in the 1930s, an apartment building in the squalid northwest Portland of the 1970s, and the lair of a drug lord in the Caribbean of the 1980s. Exploring all manner of topics, from the natural world to the lives of houses to human life and aging, this collection presents a wide range of unique views and perspectives on life with something for everyone.
Looking for Love
The little green lizard
struts across the womans porch railing
with a proprietary air, then suddenly stops
and flicks down a flap of
vermilion colored skin from his throat
and freezes in place.
He bobs his head up and down several times
before moving on.
Wordlesssoundless
but with such eloquence of expression
does he signal his desire for a mate
that, without conscious intent,
the woman touches fingers to her throat,
then catches herself
and with a rueful smile, nods back.
Herb Stokes, long-time creative writing student
