Poem a Day for April - 17

This is what's called a six by six. It has to read the same left to right as it does top to bottom. It's a little confusing but it's tremendous fun to write.


Teacher builds bridges to new tomorrows
Builds bridges and tunnels to connect
Bridges and tunnels under student bodies,
To tunnel under weakens bodies, minds
New to student bodies, erections raise
Tomorrows connect bodies,minds raise walls.

Poem a Day for April - 18

Another six by six. It has to read the same left to right as it does top to bottom. It's a little confusing but it's tremendous fun to write...

Quivering, beneath that mouth saying, “never.
beneath your forced and pronounced touch.
that forced your lips to me.
mouth and lips you clearly like.
saying, pronounced to clearly enunciate this.
“Never. Touch. Me. Like. This. Again.”

Poem a Day for April - 19

Looking at shattered pasts and burning lives, I’ve come to a conclusion.
Tears make horrible glue and then can only put out small fires.
Even though the prairies of our cheeks get rain and we don’t have a fire escape,
being outnumbered is uncomfortable.
When your backup plan consists of “Jump”, a new plan might be needed.
Tear ducts go off like espresso machines.
Chicago, London and Pompeii all burn together.
The smoke is getting thicker and we’re all being forced to crawl to breathe.
If only fragile things break and all of us are broken, then our time here will be short.
Action is required. Action is necessary. Action is the only choice.
What we all know. What we all embrace. What we all shy away from.

For uncounted years, our desires have ruled us. That will not change. But we can change our desire.
