Fields of Stars (of Women)
I want to see fields
Of girls
Standing tall to the sun,
Their imperfections
Shined upon the brightest,
Their souls sparkling

We Watched the Sunset Upside-Down
With hair dripping,
Splashed with the stars
Not yet visible to our eyes,
We jumped,
Dived,
Splashed into the pathway
Of sunlight

Dreams Like the Moon in His Eyes
This is from a much longer story in verse I'm writing, so it's quite out-of-context, but I really liked how this stanza turned out. Sometimes, like today, just one perfect-seeming part lights up my day.

To Me, the Truth
To me,
The words hope
And light
Are interchangeable;
To me,
Perhaps it is hope
That will let us see clearly

Interchangeable
Write about two words(or more!) that aren’t synonyms but are interchangeable to you. Use the words in place of each other in phrases/ sentences to help show the way they connect in your mind.

Light in Lakes and Smiles
Lifejacket strung on the clothes line,
Still dripping with lakewater and smiles
From when I skied across the great
Puddle of light that sits in front of me now,
Loves

Punching waves
My therapist told me not to punch waves
I think it was supposed to be a metaphor
I don't punch waves
I throw myself into them
Relentlessly
Until I can't feel the pain

Girls
We can do hard things.
We can push through heartbreak,
The tears of feeling like we're not wanted,
Like we're not good enough,
We can splash in them.
We can laugh and cry in the same breath

Lost
I’m not sure which is worse, having my hair torn out everyday and markers drawing ‘makeup’ on my face, having a dog chew on my arm and a toddler chew on my leg.

Cloud
Floating in the sky
Like white fluid still in time
But moves in slow grace
Swirled with a brush by an oil painter
Yet sculpted with regality of wood
A whisper full of substance
An illusion of support
