Poem written for and submitted to “An Ode to (favorite body part),” poetry contest, Andrea Dietrich, sponsor, November 7, 2025.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Five slim sentinels perched on each hand glide across keys like water over stones~ svelte reeds bending to my hasty rhythm. Each joint bends like supple willow branches, darting across plastic continents birthing words faster than thought takes shape.
