elysabeth faslund Poems

Oh, would you like to swing on a
Star...
And think you're better off than you
Are...
...

Fitting to write this today...
Rain falls loudly.
Skies dark.
I grieve.
...

I put one foot down lightly,
Walk from blue to yellow,
Admire gold glittering,
Shimmering
...

Twilight tangles dawn imperceptibly
As dawn dances light beams through all twilights.
No complete Light...as no complete Darkness.
We should be aware of these magical
...

In a draped parlor,
The soft Lady
Waits on her brocade
Chair.
...

Intrigue misting sleepily down to Earth,
As warmth meekly unburdens greenery
From Winter-dormant twigs, branches of trees
Shaking loose from iced-mornings' tyrranny.
...

Hickory dickory dockus...
Zee mouse run up the clockus...
Zee cluck stuck one...
Zee took zee fun
...

And so, Goodnight, Goodnight.
Gray winds, blue eyes
Watching Louisiana, and
Texas...
...

Ambivalent hues sensing
Another watercolor-draped
Ambient Dawn.
Do we not sing this Song...
...

What should I cry, in lines,
That I will not cry, in eyes?

Rather be daft, and laugh
...
