Song of Wind, Song of Light

Susan Lendroth writes for adults and children, including picture books. She loves history, mystery and finding rhyme in unexpected subjects. "Song of Wind, Song of Light" is on Short Circuit #01, Short Édition's quarterly review.

Wind chimes ring behind our house
in random harmony,
riffing with each passing bird
and thrumming bumblebee.

A glass dragon also sways there,
seeming mute while wind chimes sing,
but sunshine sparks cantos of light
from each iridescent wing.
