Bio
Levi Wagenmaker (1944 - ) is a retired journalist, living in the Netherlands for most of the year, and in France for some of it, with two bitches, one of whom a dog, and a younger male, something of a dog also. His poems have been published on line more than in print, and Google will tell the curious what, where, and when.
Levi Wagenmaker
irrelevance of cuckoos
clouds and their blankety-blank
leeched light from the early afternoon
a low growl of thunder took a skid
along their upturned bellies
to usher in a shower short but sharp
for a spell they had sought cover
in silence but already birds
are back to whistling up defiance
of forecasts with mention of further
incidentally sprung leaks in legions afloat
a cuckoo voices doubts but dogs
three in number are asleep in
good faith and agile positions
to be able to sleep with nose stuck
between one's feet renders cuckoos irrelevant
