Road Trip Blip

Behind us, superfluous

feral cats yowl, owls
hoot, trains maintain
distance resistance,
drivers in the fast lane complain.

[This is an Echo Verse poem.]

Oh, Fedora

I adored your

soft, wide brim
& indented crown,
your heat-pressed
          felt,
your playboy
          flare,
your one-
          of-a-kind
reputation.

But that
was then.
Now, I’ve learned
to wear
my hair
down.

I Still Wear You Once in a While

For today’s prompt, pick an article of clothing, make it the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. It could be as general as “Ankle-cut Socks” or “Bell-bottoms.” Or get more specific like “My Bearcats Hoodie” or “Reebok Pump High Top Shoes.”

For Good Measure

When you nick-
named her
Simpleton,
she built a secret

pleasure dome 

comprised of
       down
                 &
                   out-
                   ward
                   thrust
and a whispering
walkway to sustain
hymns & mantras
she chants
to soothe herself.
She no longer takes it
personally
that you friend-
zoned her
for life; she's been left
content, detained
in her self-made
Heaven
on Earth.

She's Become the Light
