Poems I wrote on plane trip to New Jersey

Here are a few poems that I wrote with my sister while we were flying back east to Philly/New Jersey:

Freckles

U dot my skin
Like a fingerprint, u mark me
brown points of recognition
so I am not the same
brown points of imperfection
or possibly skin cancer
Chimo?



Alligator

Oh alligator, oh alligator
so green, so scaly
how u lay there
ur teeth so sharp
so incisive
ur brown, swampy home
is like paradise to you
I wish I could lay low
in the murky muck
to trap the unsuspecting buffalo
Lucky alligator.


Cumulus

Clouds in the sky
like a pile of mashed potatoes
oh let me be your gravy!
The mirage of the sky
Tempts me, like youthful snow
How I yearn to play
in your fluffy mounds
But I am old, and know
U are but a tease
and offer no support
just bitter rain
and suffocating darkness.
