LIST POETRY - A FUTURISTIC INTERPRETATION

so I braided some words into twine
planted some sweet...

Frothy waves stretch to kiss toes
Hikers plodding sandy coasts
Leaving imprints on the shore

Hearing birds tweet and...

Dazzling lavender blooms on cherry trees wake first
Sweet aroma o’er the verdant landscape’s...

Peak ascending
Trail keeps bending
Effort spending
Gnats offending
