They're such fierce delicate little zoomers, aren't they?

"Envy" was my favorite, "dreams the flight of origami birds." so good!

Many military brats will recognize that one. All are short and sweet, the paper sack dreaming of flight. Each one a curt, sharp pleasure leaving an indelible mark on me. That is what I call poetry. You can't hear it but I am clapping.

Gorgeous. Your footnote really made me laugh! “Light — a whispered word…” is my favorite, but "Envy" is beautiful; I think people liked it because it's lovely, not because it's short ;).

I liked all the short poems but my favorite was the untitled one about the effect of the sergeant's voice. Although I was never in the military, sounds that trigger body memories I understand. Thanks.

"Sounds that trigger body memories..." Oh, my. Many a poem, many a twitchy journal entry.

Thanks so much for reading and commenting, Rose. 💛🌿
