Nicholas Y.B. Wong's poem "From My Window" is now published in Anomalous Press. There is also a recording of it. The second and third lines of the poem particularly caught my attention: 'no squirrels fleeing from freezing / corners with their fleecy fur during spring'. First, Nicholas uses alliteration (fl/ f/ fr) well in these lines. Second, 'squirrels' made me smile. Earlier, I wrote the post "Reverse déjà vu (alert: contains strong language)", which touches on their pertinent appearance in my poem (which is subsequently published in QLRS). Obviously I am not the only one who thinks of these little creatures! The quotidian details in the second last stanza, keenly observed, also made me smile with recognition.
