Do You Believe a Poem Can Inspire You for the Whole Day?The Ascension Circus has come to town! These poems are inspired by simple circus themes, and as with the traditional circus of days past, are meant for ladies and gentleman and children of all ages.Section 1 introduces us to mythical Longboard Beach and some of the characters who live there. In section 2, while they wait for the circus to open, there is a talent show happening at the cantina.In section 3, we go to the newly created playground, Joy Playground where the child within experiences many emotions. In sections 4 and 5, journey through The Ascension Circus midway and visit exotic tents, meet curious people, and circus animals. Buy a ticket to explore a secret cave or for an airplane ride from the past with wing walkers.Life is a three-ring circus in section 6. The big top show entertains us with many different acts, some traditional and some never experienced before. After the fat lady sings, the big top closes and night dreams begin.Not to worry, in section 7, there is a delightful parade out of town. After waving goodbye to our new friends, we settle back into Longboard Beach with new, expansive perspectives. Our hearts are open to new possibilities.Thank you for visiting the circus!

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
