The Sun’s Up Again 

And the world keeps turning 
and the sky keeps squawking 
and I swear you 

just keep talking

while the geese fly by 
like little white lies. 

Catch one for me, 
and wring its neck. 
 
I dare you.

In November, we poem.

    I love that white space and pause! What effective pacing and control. You are SO good at this — controlling how a poem is read, dictating the rhythm. Fantastic. I’m always amazed at how skilled you are at this.

Use your words.
