Descriptive Poems
lazy a.m.
by Jordan Davis
rubber ducky clouds
bobbing in the blue sky bathtub
on the middle morning breeze
twin spruce guarding
sparrow house flanks
from ferociously feral cats
sundial shadows
belie still feet
......
on the bus
by Jordan Davis
this guy beside me the one on my right
with the camel blazer complete with
corduroy elbow patches and
checkerboard leather buttons
he looks like he has a score to settle
he's mostly bald under his
brown-wool newsboy cap
i know because the spot

skipping stones
by Jordan Davis
smooth grey stones
bounce across the stream
as if begging for one last glimpse
of the rainbow-toned sunset
as they skip across
the fast current surface
before sinking into a watery grave
as i throw them to their death

by Amelia Pond
Long hair blows in soft winds.
Soft skin pierced by sharp thorns.
The beauty of the rose comes at a cost,
Red blood for a red rose.
ducks over river
by Jordan Davis
adjourned mallard flock
madly silent flapping
v-formation missile
slippery light slicing
looking glass surface
liquid sun river
grassy hair tossing
tickling valley shoulders
