This Week in Poetry #7: Feb 12-18, 2020

1

disappointed
in the mildew on
my beach chair
it was clean
five months ago

2

Wednesday morning
exploring
one of life’s mysteries—
the origin
of the dripping sound

—february 12

3

overcast
i turn pages idly
in my mind

4

listening
to windblown leaves
thoughts of the sea

5

can’t tell
if I’m getting better
keep writing

6

inner clouds
i crave the comfort
of noodles

—february 13

7

gray skies
spitting rain
electric violin in the parking lot

—february 14

8

some days
the sun
just shines

—february 15

9

cat picking
at the door
peeling paint
I also
wish to be let out

10

sunny breeze
carrying around
this “no” on my back

11

second-guessing
every word
that comes out
of my heart

12

green-eyed cat
finds a hole
in one sleeve

—february 17

13

one week
was as long
as a mountain’s shadow

14

how i wish
i could hurry
recovery

15

deep fog
a personal wall
even on a sunny day

—february 18
