Doug
Tanoury is exclusively a poet of the internet.
Doug sites his 7th
grade poetry anthology used in Sister Debra's
English class as exerting the greatest influence on his work.
He still keeps a copy of Reflections On A Gift Of Watermelon Pickle And
Other Modern Verse (Stephen Dunning, Edward Lueders and Hugh Smith,
(c)1966 by Scott Foresman & Company) at his writing desk.

Tanoury
It
is tear shaped for this fruit is the face
Of the battered wife whose
Bruised and beaten flesh
Is ebony with traces of cobalt blue
Like summer nights just after sunset
