Prompts:

1.

She is Spring rain


2.

counting sheep that are too fast
for my numbers.

3.

Beneath a circle of white
you loved me red
of cheek.

4.

The hand of sorrow
fingers cold earth
with practiced
motion as I beg for
higher ground.

5.

from that place in between
slumber and sleepless

6.

and I am
her softest shoulder.

7.

and he tells me
he loves the way
I move.

8.

It was lazy Sunday,
our day
for bare feet and
hot cement.

9.

Mother always told me
not to fall for
the boys next door;
to set higher goals
than side streets and love.

10.


He scribbled her
in yellow crayon;
figured the color
of cowards
was just her shade.
