Today, Robert Lee Brewer features Walt’s own poetry form, the Boketto, at The Writer’s Digest Poetic Asides! What an honor! Go check out the article, with fine examples by Walt himself, and also by Janet Rice Carnahan: Boketto: Poetic Forms – Writer’s Digest (writersdigest.com) .
Congratulations, pard!

WALT
Here, while tilling the garden
and making the soil ready
for poems to sprout and grow,
he plants gleanings
of his mind and soul
to nurture others’ muses,
that words that one peruses
might grow whole.
Perfect
Walter Who
Wit, charm and daring grace him,
bringing joy to those near, far,
perhaps following his lead,
or maybe not.
He supports them all.
Partner, champion, sponsor,
sure sower of seeds, Grace-filled.
He is loved.
Awesome!!!
Aww, you guys! These Bokettos are great! What a way to honor Walt! ❤
Trying my hand at Boketto – almost double the number of the Shadorma…so it was a stretch!! 😉
Dusk
Ribbons of pink and purple
rest on distant horizon,
crickets and bullfrogs singing
lullaby of
evening contentment.
Gone is the noise of the day.
Tomorrow, nowhere in sight.
Only now.
A stretch, she said. Haha! Good job all!
