Amanda Dickerman Poems

And it floated into the air
Far away from the child’s hand
Of all expression her face was bare
And it floated into the air
...

Converse All-Stars are my favorite shoes. There’s
High tops and low tops. I love them all, but
Ultimately, I choose the low tops
Cause they look cute with capris and shorts, but
...

I turn around, he’s right there with a big red nose
Colorful polka dots are dizzying my eyes
The horribly honking, the constant laughter
The squeaking of created animal shaped balloons
...

with spring, comes a second chance
a second chance to grow
after the harsh winter has removed
all hope for success.
...

Still so young, but so deeply in love
Every moment together is one to remember
He is a gift to me from heaven above
Still so young, but so deeply in love
...

I wish that you were near,
To hold me in the darkest night,
Against all odds you erase my fear.
I wish that you were near,
...

My pen to the paper, will tell you it all,
I swear that you build me up, simply to see me fall.
It will get better babe, just you wait and see,
Let me show you everything, c’mon, you and me.
...

The flower bloomed today
It’s a yellow sunflower
Through the ground it made its way
The flower bloomed today
...

The fairy jumped over the bog
To ride upon a unicorn
Drops of rain fall in a misty fog
The fairy jumped over the bog
...

I know why no one wants that shiny snack
But it doesn’t matter, I want it
I think when I’m close enough I’ll attack
It smells so good I just can’t quit
...
