By Ted Kooser, U.S. Poet Laureate

��

At the market today, I look for Piñata apples, their soft-blush-yellow. My husband brought them home last week, made me guess at the name of this new strain, held one in his hand like a gift and laughed as I tried all the names I knew: Gala, Fuji, Honey Crisp—watched his face for clues—what to call something new? It’s winter, only tawny hues and frozen ground, but that apple bride was sweet, and I want to bring it back to him, that new. When he cut it, the star inside held seeds of other stars, the way within a life are all the lives you might live, each unnamed, until you name it.

Ted Kooser, U.S. Poet Laureate, 2004-2006

�� Be part of New Light, New Year which celebrates light emerging from darkness after winter solstice. All area artists are welcome to submit up to three pieces of work for consideration. What do you dream your new year will bring to light the way for the new day?
