Morning
by
Jana Kalina

Morning was in a marvelous mood—

Sun, like a flame thrower,
over the horizon came
spreading its grand mantle of light

In one sweeping gesture,
dismissed all traces
of night

Jana Kalina lives with her husband on Vancouver Island. Given her background in social sciences and journalism, she's found her voice in what she calls poetic journalism — a way of documenting her Bohemian family history and her life (from a young age) in the many countries she's lived in and travelled through.

Lori Levy:
Especially like the image of the sun as a "flame thrower."
