Poetry Friday

Afternoon Nectar
  • The tree’s sparse shade evaporated,
  • leaving the one limb we both could reach
  • to cast a temporary scar across Maria’s face.
  • Her pack, limp by her side, spilled
  • an orange to the uneven red earth
  • separating us.
  • She brusquely peeled it,
  • ripping the epidermis, undeterred
  • by my wry smile,
  • seeking only to split
  • two halves
  • so we might share some afternoon nectar.

My Heart Plays

  • My heart plays
  • where you flower.
  • Dalliance through the daisies
  • dripping dew
  • upon our feet 
  • shoeless 
  • from the first.

barackobama:

Jacob spoke first.
“I want to know if my hair is just like yours,” he told Mr. Obama, but so quietly that the president asked him to speak again.
Jacob did, and Mr. Obama replied, “Why don’t you touch it and see for yourself?” He brought his head level with Jacob, who hesitated.
“Touch it, dude!” Mr. Obama said.
As Jacob, who was 5, patted the presidential crown, Mr. Souza snapped.
“So, what do you think?” Mr. Obama asked.

Why I Still Write Poetry

“They seem to think there is something downright unwholesome and even shocking about it, as if I were dating a high school girl, at my age, and going with her roller-skating that night.”

Things I Hate That You Might Dislike As Well

Putting your hand under a spoonful just in case…

only to have it actually drip on your hand. Let’s be honest. The hand under the spoon is for show. If we knew it was going to drip, we would be nowhere near it. Yeah, we want to save our (presumably fly) outfit, but once soup/sauce/dressing gets on your hand, it’s there to stay. Napkins, thanks for all you do, but this one requires a trip to the men’s room.
