Notes on Abalone
In the cavern of whispers
where sea and sand roam
waves write love notes on abalone,
and wait for dreamers wooed
by the music of poetry
to surrender to its seduction.

Tantrum
Ms. Rainbow enters the stage in her gown of charmeuse silk quoting Wordsworth and silences the sun’s soliloquy on his relationship with clouds. Her theatrics are more jealous tantrum than artful expression or love of poetry. For all her brilliant colors she only draws a moment’s adulation before her attraction begins to fade. ©Susie Clevenger 2019 #NaPoWriMo2019 Real Toads ~ The Tuesday Platform
