Drums

October 27, 2024October 27, 2024 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet
group of men playing drums along the street

drums along the side-

walk buckets upside down they

beat and sing echoing

words sunrise to dark and I

slip through sound gazing at sky

Green Parrot Feather

September 15, 2024September 15, 2024 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet
green bird perched on tree branch

green parrot feather

on sidewalk smeared words carved in

cement I was here

sunshine warms bones and spreads wings

clouds billow and drift eastward

Raven Croaks

August 31, 2024August 31, 2024 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet
black bird flying in the sky

early morning i
sit drinking tea and listening
to raven croaking
gliding through the air to land
on lamp post slick with dew drops

Fog Slips Down the Hill

June 23, 2024June 23, 2024 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet
salesforce tower through the fog

Fog slips down the hill
kissing windows and roads I
slide into my mind
and wonder where you are
who you have become


A Tanka.

Chinatown Night Market

April 21, 2024April 21, 2024 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet

lions dancing and
dragons fly in Chinatown
drumming Spring sunset
full of dim sum hot green tea
to the bar gin and tonic
