Poetry Sight of

Edmund Charles Baranowski

Where poetry and performance reach for the world.

My name is Edmund.
I am a wandering poet.
My purpose is to connect and entertain.
From coast to coast, I travel,
performing poems for any soul
who meets me eye to eye.
I often perform antics to attract an audience,
and practice reflective observation until I relate.
Then I choose a poem from my portfolio
that is particular for each person,
focussing on our similar interests and experiences, with the hope to move, and be moved by,
every individual I come in contact with.
I have written and performed well over a hundred short poems on many topics for the enjoyment of all who may attend.

Ode to the Dragonfly

                          The dragonfly
                is free to fly
         wherever he
may please,

and spend his day,
in any way,
                            while his mind will stay
at ease...

             Out in the field...
or at the pond...
or on my kayak paddle...

he seems at home,
           while he may roam...
                         i've never seen him battle.

                  Oh, i would i were
the dragonfly...

except one circumstance-

and that is when
               some bird intends
                                     to eat him, not the plants.
