Mary Rotman Poet Verse

Sebring: Alligators and Marshmallows

Sebring: long ago
humid heat leaches will
blue lakes and brown swamps
     “Caution Alligators”
transformative sunsets
clockwork storms and
     lightning balls
cactus spine sabotage
fire ants flip flops
alligators eat marshmallows
     from a stick
trees costumed in air plants 
     and Spanish moss
Grand Prix dreams
beaches buried deep in shells
     green waters beckon
Jays riding my head
garden shed baby squirrels bouncing
people I've loved
O, the people I've loved.
                                                               07/23/2015
