~ Tom Berman ~

tombermanBerman is a scientist and professor in Aquatic Microbiology. Athough most publications to date have been scientific - now and again he has had poems appear in various presses and periodicals. He  has one published book  called  "Shards, a Handful of Verse."  

'"Mostly I sit in front of a blank computer screen with the ardent, but not too realistic, hope of finding the right word, phrase, or cadence in a line to capture a fleeting moment, scene, emotion or whatever in a form that might transmit to others and perhaps even endure for more than a passing moment. Very, very occasionally do the words and lines resonate ....and then I have the feeling that maybe, just maybe, I've succeeded in creating something that might persist a little...... that way out there, beyond, someone else will catch a glimpse of my view of this infinitely unfolding world of wonders and terrors." - Tom Berman

His signature poem:

Galilee Spring

Storks circling
with the thermals
rising on a blue sky

wings outstretched spanning the seasons
as this Spring slips
gently into Summer

wild oats wave 
between purple thistles poppies nod and shed
red petals,
lupines glow sapphire

beyond the lawn
the kibbutz dogs run sensing a dry season
behind the bushes

green fades to brown imperceptibly spreading over the hollyhock hills
