Ira Joe Fisher's “P-06877-etry” from the Historic Lounsbury House

“P-06877-etry”

Welcome to another "P-06877-etry” feature where Ridgefield’s second Poet Laureate and 2-time Emmy award winner, Ira Joe Fisher, shares his poetic prowess with HamletHub readers! 

Through the Village Window

Through the village window – morning snow.

Last night winter with a gentle blow

Lined the maples and rose from the ground

Up trunks, up the bark, with whitened sound. 

It sifted and it winter-drifted

And through the village window – gifted

Me with a soft white in the grey air;

With a soft light, soft white, a soft prayer.

** Ira’s newest collection of poems, The Birth of Snow is now available for purchase locally at Books on the Common!
