Word Poem For the Full Moon Poetry Slam, List #5
-Fall Fire-
Stenography says all, with less.
Why is "I love you" the metric, and not a glass of water?
Or a snack…
Or an unrequested clean-up while she naps.
She wakes, and the still-life before her opening eyes reminds her.
Gosh.
She married a skinny, handsome pirate.
She was a fan of his fire.
A strong will and a backpack full of ideals.
Defiant by default,
And allergic to dogma,
His cute obstinance made her exasperated
Life delivered organic ideals to a corn syrup budget.
Elaborate business plans for the idea of the week.
Fly by the seat of our pants on fire!
October begins the end of seasons.
Breezy, but cold.
The leaves ignite- for a moment.
Our favorite hot colors, in the cold.
At least we’re inside.
Today, it’s fine.
Please, pass the butter.
