Poetry by Sean Gunning

Roots

Hidden under soil
Roots carry human yearning
In search of water


Lake, Mountain

Gray, purple mountain
Shimmering under water
Identical twins



BIO:  Sean was born 'n raised in London, of Irish parents, and came to Long Beach in 1989 to marry a local gal. We're still together and still in Long Beach. Today's my 45th birthday. This January, I had a short story published in an LA based Irish themed paper called Irish News and Entertainment, after which they asked me to write a regular column. My second piece was a review of Beckett's famous play "Waiting For Godot," which they lost, apparently, but never told me until a few weeks ago. And now they're saying it looks like the paper's folding. I know I'm not that great of a writer but the lengths they're going to spare my feelings, it's amazing, isn't it?
