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

The Big Dipper
Seven or eight stars?
A hidden one named Alcor
No one notices

Orpheus
My whole life I have been trying to tell a story so beautiful that the world would fall in love with me.
That is why I befriended words and stage lights.
That is why I watch the details of the world

A few Julys ago
Remember the girl?
She’s in second grade,
Maybe
Blond brown curls
Blue green eyes.
She’s sitting on the top metal pole of the fence
Chipped green paint

Human stupidity and cuttlefish
As it turns out
humans always
always
learn the hard way,
can never take the safe route.
We're that stupid, yes
but without human stupidity we wouldn't know about the pineapple
