Magical Poetry by Penny Nolte

Magical Poetry

A Soft Kiss

Dusk, hour of the rods

When all is peripheral

Near, as yet unclear

Dusk, I let the night embrace me

And so let the daylight disappear

previously published in Syracuse Review and Anomaly Poetry/Domesticated Primate


Knowing not Knowing

The candle holder hovers 

About an inch above

The shelf

I know this is a dream

Or there is something behind

Holding it there

And wish I didn’t know

previously published in Fireflies’ Light


Graduation Dream

The last month, week, day,

when couples all around us

shed tears and part.

We stay.

“Two of them,” we say,

and fifty years later, still, in love.
