Dropped

Ok, this made me think of the song "Drops of Jupiter" by Train, so it's inspired by it. (Kind of.)

Drops of Saturn

Glittering crystals
cold to the touch
reflective

Like millions of tiny
rainbows.

They fell from the rings
of Saturn,
deep into the solar system
in the great
beyond of space.

What's it Like

Okay, so, I might miss some prompts, but, oh well. So for this prompt, I think I'll write about what's it like: a day at the beach.

Happiness

Warm sunny beaches
emerald waters, breaking
waves along the coast.

Laughter, smiles
crust cut off peanut butter
sandwiches,
a day in the sand
and the surf.

Plastic shovel and
bucket,
just right sand,
king of the sandcastle.

Jumping waves,
see the distance,
toy sailboat bobbing
at the water's edge.

Nighttime comes round,
beach deserted,
little sailboat bobbing,
sandcastle proudly standing,
discarded crusts buried
in sand.

Tactile

A short vocabulary lesson: tactile-adj. pertaining to touch. Now that you know the definition, you can enjoy the poem. :)


A Blind Man's Sight

Shrouded in darkness,
no color,
no light.

How then,
does a blind man see?

Every feathery touch,
every breeze,
the feel of silk,
soft, warm skin,
smooth leather
rough canvas.

The tactile imagination
of a blind man's
sight.
