elysabeth faslund Poems

Sheer gown flowing with winds,
She looks to far horizons...
All one. Sends laughter to
Dolphins, foam, waves.
...

Take me with you when you go.
Make room for my dreams
When we leave.
Bring your canvases, brushes...
...

Whisper of the leaves
From knotty, knotty trees
With knees over knuckles
Under mounds and towns
...

Rain blending tin roof
Pitter patter...
Rain scooping pocks,
Bayou moves...
...

Paragon of rented salads.
A week! Year!
Lifetime!
...

Footsteps to the shoreline, shoes off,
funny toe impressions...

Foam seeps absolute...scuttle away, or
...

Smelled so sweet, for so far distances,
That it made crevices in the soul?

What rose arced the sky with brightness,
...

Paddy, the Irish Driver

Paddy the famous Irishman is driving home after downing a few at the local pub. He turns a corner and much to his horror he sees a tree in the middle of the road.
...

Sunlight fogging through
Sleepy trees eyelashed with
Dew...
