Poet of quiet thresholds
Field Notes from Ordinary Magic
For anyone who suspects the world is stranger, softer, and more magical than it first seems.
Whimsy
poetry and found things by Laura J. Marshall
Whimsy is a collection of tiny poems and curious little things made from found stones, weathered wood, paper, and whatever ele happens to ask for words. Each piece is made individually by hand, so no two are quite the same.
Poetry
Giraffes in jacuzzis
are exactly as you’d expect
Necks rising above steam
like questions reaching
for stars
Long eyelashes
half closed
deciding
the world
has been
holding out
on them
Tiny bubbles gather
along knobby knees
while the evening
forgets to hurry
The stars above
laugh softly
winking at
brown and white
Legs akimbo
sink lower
looking impossibly relaxed
for creatures
built to brush the sky
