her purring helps
the flowers bloom and shine
bright just like the sun
shines

[ArkansasWITS @ArkansasWITS]

Soft as wintertime,
cold as snow

[ArkansasWITS @ArkansasWITS]

nature habits
a tree so tall, too my insects

[ArkansasWITS @ArkansasWITS]

My yard is my monument of
freedom.

[ArkansasWITS @ArkansasWITS]

From the time
I’ve blossomed
I’ve been standing
here.

[ArkansasWITS @ArkansasWITS]

Words are wasps

[ArkansasWITS @ArkansasWITS]

Bad words lurk through the day

[ArkansasWITS @ArkansasWITS]

All clouds are wet. But do they act like it?

[ArkansasWITS @ArkansasWITS]

Some words are tiger sharks that ambush your body.
Others are hammerheads that want you to party.

[ArkansasWITS @ArkansasWITS]

Words are sharks that eat at your mind.

[ArkansasWITS @ArkansasWITS]

I am from the peaceful swim
in warm weather. I am from
love.

[ArkansasWITS @ArkansasWITS]

I’m from where the peaches grow

[ArkansasWITS @ArkansasWITS]

I am from a state, a country
cut in fifty. Mountains and trees too many.

[ArkansasWITS @ArkansasWITS]

Magnolias look like a dress

[ArkansasWITS @ArkansasWITS]

I come from street lights with yellow lighting.

[ArkansasWITS @ArkansasWITS]

I am from the Friday family movie
night.

[ArkansasWITS @ArkansasWITS]

a chorus of
crickets

[ArkansasWITS @ArkansasWITS]

The blue nose deer
eats an apple
in the summer.
I eat a donut in the summer.

[ArkansasWITS @ArkansasWITS]

I told them
about the sickness I told
them about the floods I
told them about the fires
in California

[ArkansasWITS @ArkansasWITS]

soft dirt beneath the feet of nature
