More Than 17 Syllables

Annette Makino
March 25, 2011

The daily newspaper for the Eureka, California area, the Times-Standard, ran a nice 700-word feature article on me and Makino Studios today. Since launching the Makino Studios site a week ago, I’ve been overwhelmed by the positive response to my work. It feels good to know I am touching hearts. Thank you all for your support.

Selected Poems
cowlick
some part of me
still wild

the time we are given…
sparks rise through darkness
to join the stars

home from errands—
a hero’s welcome
from the dog

what remains
of the mountain
sand between my toes

lines of foam
over and over the sea
writes its story

fog-shrouded coast
we listen
to the view

for better or for worse
our lights and darks
tumbling together

our easy silence
every puddle
sky-deep

for tracks . . .
who was I before
I was tamed?
