To celebrate our new home
for the Poetry Workshop
on The Writers' Block server
on Discord, I wrote a quick poem
with some words I had lying around.
Please join us in our new digs!
"An Evening Outside"
Rain drops into my hand like change.
Slippery coins, spent in a moment,
trickle down my wrist and drip,
plopping to puddles at my feet.
Wind lifts my hair like hands.
Braiding with gentle, ginger fingers
the fighting, flying strands that hang limp
when the breeze has passed.
Sunsets leave my gaze like friends.
Laughing teeth and lips can close
as shoulders turn and plans flutter down
like petals in the dusk of the day.
