Clouds fixed in settled explosions of amber and saffron

Clement winds tossing seaweed on the toasted flaxen sand 

The science teacher showed your writing 

as an example in class today 

and even though 

he cut off the name, I knew 

it was you. 

The way you make your y's and f's 

You assembled me with great care and patience like a ship in a bottle. You made me a fine coat with matching pants with pockets like yours. The only difference was that I was not in mine.

Poem #1 in my Greek Gods poem series. More to come soon! :D

1. persephone

she crushed flowers beneath her feet as she walked

I wonder every day:

Do you like me?

You look at me sometimes.

I wonder what it could mean.

I wonder if I feel to you what you feel to me.
