sherku: Lowell 3

Thoughtfully
touching air
she signs the lyrics
to "hand writing
on the wall"



What is a sherku?

Inspired by the 25th Annual Lowell Folk Festival


sherku: Lowell 2

There is so much
joy in the

sherku: Lowell 1

Spreading sun screen
on barely tanned
shoulders she
stands swaying
her sleek black shift

she had one hand
on the wheel driving
other hand twirling
a strand of hair

reaches for paper
to write a note
about where he was

the last lawn mower

and kids began
playing games
in the yard
