as for me, I am
content to live quietly—
as the rain
drips into small puddles
and glints in the sun

Yellow Moon was a literary magazine 1997-2006 that helped many writers discover poetry, particularly short forms. I was fortunate to learn with and be encouraged by that community of poets under the leadership of Beverley George.
