Philosophy Lesson
By Anne Mikusinski
Bumblebees are optimists Investing their faith And relying On gossamer Wings To hold them up And carry them Through their travels Weaving the intricacies Of their simple days Among the flowers. The same fragile hope Is mirrored in artist’s tasks As they mull over A myriad of choices Piecing words or music Thoughts and pictures Into a whole That will grant them recognition.

Anne Mikusinski has always been in love with words, whether they have been read or spoken aloud. She has been writing poems and short stories since she was seven years old. Her influences range from Dylan Thomas and Sylvia Plath to David Byrne and Nick Cave. She hopes that someday, her writing will be as much of an influence on someone as these writers have been on her.
