Minnesota III
Moist sheets tossed aside soaked pillows Side by side single mattress She was exposed drippings Dime sack and tree rings brittle snowcats Green sight meet brown peepers Plumb late April Boreal Plains humidity Abittor Unami eau de cologne electricity Thin plain pink blanket on the window Air conditioner recirculating Salmon rays preen her face Noon spring afternoon the rain stopped the sun...

Joshua Moore Minnesota
Damp linens flung aside sodden cushions Flank by flank She was damp Nickel sack and bark rings Verdant gaze meet hazel orbs Ripe late April Northern Flatlands moisture Slaughterhouse savory mist perfume Slender dull rose covering on the pane Cooling unit recirculating Coral beams groom her visage Midday vernal noon the drizzle ceased the light slivered in Naked gourd blossoms adhesive juice Lurching brined The toddler flesh on her abdomen She...

Premium Member Leota wants to learn the Minnesota Charm
Leota stacked her new books in a fabulous little pile. She was thrilled with their freshness, it made her smile. Finally at university, she could figure out the Minnesota charm. It was reputed to invisible-ize people, so what could be the harm? She flipped through the table of contents, wanting to find the page. Minnesota charm is no longer viable....

Witch from Minnesota
Her spell remains over me 44 years later Once a bumblebee has kissed the nectar of Snapdragon The creature is fever of succulence She says, “You kiss so softly I think it’s a thing with guys with braces My name is Bob.” That’s quite a coincidence After our third day at Civitan camp in Albion High school awaits us all this fall Someone...

Premium Member Santa off to Minnesota
Santa is on the road, ready to fly. It’s raining in Minnesota, no lie. He scratches his snowy beard with a sigh. Reindeer and sleigh will not get very high. Kids must get their gifts so he says goodbye to Mrs. Claus and the elves that certify the flight though it’s raining tonight. Red-eye of chief elf unique, it breaches each...

I loved the ebon-walk, past the twinkling houses of Christmas, talking with my grandson- pointing, pondering, spending time. Much better than spending cash, the ka-ching’s in kin-register. With the younger boy, I spent time swinging my arms, like a gorilla, playing an oculus game. “Follow me…follow me,” he says, excited to have me follow him in virtual reality. In a house...

Memphis and Minnesota
Like French fries and ice cream, two different places but retain the same meaning Hot and cold like I am riding with the a/c on and the window down to catch the perfect breeze If we were born in the same state would our relationship ever equate You can never be certain of what is to come...

The Minnesota Sky
The Minnesota sky He's lying on the ground... no mercy to be found... He begs and pleads and says that he can't breathe The world keeps looking on... human dignity is gone... I pray to God to help next time it could be me Chorus So I'm choking on a truth that's seldom heard... Justice falls down to the ground without a word Another day goes by, and nothing...

George Floyd
I I tried not to mention the crime Siblings, it is high time America stopped self-flagellation, Self-hate, self-abnegation II I feel for him, brother George ("of the earth") I came close, but saved by a different birth To feel the accusing eyes: "Me, the evil one" Only because I stayed in school, joined the run III Black America wants to drive, play ... like us Tired of...

Picture several feet of snow, Pa! Don’t be clumsy with your packing, Sir! Of fluffy white fields, you’ll be in awe. Afield Southern climate, you’ll feel the brr. Pack your woolen coat and boots, Dad! Don’t forget warm socks, silk underwear, Pop! From far away it don’t seem so bad But the scene’s colder from Santa’s workshop. 12/1/2019...
