her

she fixes the clip in her hair/ purses her lips/ smooths her sleek skirt/ and it all shifts in a blip

all she sees is the black/ the ink runs down/ a perfect album cover shot/ and onwards her head pounds

the click of the heels/ that have been replaced/ with the click of her teeth/ that have gained a red base

she walks the street corner/ phone on alert/ keys between fingers/ silent to avert

yet click and again/ i see her on my screen/ the newsline blares/ and again society fails to redeem

Green

The greenery fools us all/ the resemblance of peace and tranquility/ the swoosh of the vines and swish of the leaves/ brings what we all forget to be anonymity

The flower petals you smell/ the sweet scents that fills your nose, your lungs/ breathe it in real slow and lean back/ because it’s just fibonacci that lingers among

The ocean you crave to crash down over/ with the salt that dries your hair after a spray/ the sand that grinds between your creases/ that only reminds you of how you long to stay

The trick nature pulls on us all/ the laugh that rings at our expense/ it’s not the bees buzzing or cicadas chiming/ but what the mother of all makes us repent

The Pilot

Welcome to my blog!! Blank slate, blank state. Actually, that means literally nothing so here we gooooo. Basics? I’m kind of a cat person but would never admit to anyone I know and I write some crappy poetry. Not quite roses are red, violets are blue, but I have dabbled in it before. I’m more of the everything I write will be an ABCB rhyme scheme because that’s what I do best and it’s all pretty literal. But that’s kind of boring sooooo. There’s so much pressure in the first post. It’s like a pilot episode of television. If it’s good, we air it. If not, sorry, try again next season. Here’s to airing my show:) -Susie
