Two poems by Rick Hartwell

As we dream of others
             in our sleep,
In how many others’ dreams
             might we appear?
Is there a link from dreams to
             those of which we dream?



Caws of angry crows
recalling with resentment
evils of tossed stones
grudges borne unto the future.



Rick Hartwell is a retired middle school teacher (remember the hormonally-challenged?) living in Southern California with his wife of forty-nine years, Sally (upon whom he is emotionally, physically, and spiritually dependent), two grown children, two granddaughters, and fifteen cats! Don’t ask. Like the Transcendentalists and William Blake, he believes that the instant contains eternity.
