PLEASE TELL ME IF THEY NEED EDITS OR ARE TRASH 🥲

The clouds

wisk by quickly

in their own little world

like ghosts trailing by wispering

secrets

Aloe

in a tin can

separated from sky

in the window, morning, noon, night

alone

the tree

in my yard tells

autums not very far

because now she is bare and cold

so quiet

Posting

Portraying thoughts

In pride for the whole world

Peering in their screen veiled judgement

Ignored

Nothing- Like blank canvas; Rising from puff of smoke- Empty, emotionless, numb, dazed; Kill me.

"Six Simple Cinquains" - a poem written 5/30/2024, based off of an eighth grade teacher's poetry writing prompt

Five lines, 2-4-6-8-2 syllables, title-description-action-feeling-conclusion, respectively.

Image description: an index card with a handwritten rough draft in mixed red pen and graphite. The poem reads:

Caesar never wrote a paper on the Roman empire, so why do I still have to? Early September al- ready mentally—I'm transported by thought right out of late May. Eighth grade and junior year and just turned twenty-five— debris in a river, swirling, teaching. River- side Shakespeare, nine- teen-seventy-three fall- ing apart because I don't know how to take care of things I love yet as they get older, more fragile. My grandmother's book I read— only I have read in forty years. It sat straight as we lived our lives, it held its pages.
