DREAMS OF ANDROMEDA Living Each night Dreaming of my days on Andromeda, That island beyond the sea of space. Dying I try to find contentment at the alien bars; Dreaming of my nights with Andromeda, My soul mate beyond this time and place. ALONE AMONG THE STONES September in the cemetery, What’s an eternity worth to me? Forever cursed to walk the earth, MANIFESTATION I’ll be free When the sinking sun has set Time to wear the white carnation; I’ll be back When the rising of the fall Time to start a new sensation; |
Joseph V. Danoski lives happily on the “plains of his imagination” in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. He published his first book of poems titled Shock Waves: Letters from the Edge back in 1987, under his pen name Jonathan Konrad. This book is still being sold in local bookstores, and has been reviewed favorably a number of times. Through the years, Joseph has had quite a few of his poems published in the city’s newspaper, The Berlin Reporter, where for a time he had a byline in its poetry corner. In 1997 he was asked by the Chamber of commerce to write something appropriate for the Berlin Centennial Celebration. After researching the history of the area and the paper-making industry, he wrote a poem titled “The City Built from Trees” which he read at City Hall.
