Salty

irreverence

disguised as outrage

dulls Liberty’s promise

expects her

to shine

Uncomplicated micro poetry for Kerry and the Real Toads

Hymn

Read this new poem by Sherman Alexie: HYMN

Reverie

Between

stretchy clouds

   impossibly high

and bass so low

as to bring

vertigo

           Hyper-aware

                of gravity

     nimbus-strong

  and super-wish

           a tractor beam

   would end

All this

Connections

The first time it happened

I noticed to myself,

all of us

engrossed in other things.

The next day, we exclaimed

There’s a rainbow!

just as the singer sang

about a rainbow.

We looked at each other.

That’s weird.

It happened yesterday.

Yes. That’s really weird.

We decided to take it

as a good sign.
