Tara Crown Poems

The wind in the bending pines
flushes my thoughts
and clears my mind.
Sitting on this Earth-body
...

Last night I caught and set free a lightning bug
Oh, right around nine times
By the tenth time I had him he was lookin kinda stunned
So I set him free once more.
...

for beauty
lay by me
and see my light
...

Sometimes I look at my life
And see Im outside looking in
Hovering above that bubble
In observation of my own sins.
...

I'd rather not be
a balloon on a string,
bobbing and nodding
silent agreements with the wind,
...

Come away with me to the island tonight,
talk with me at water's edge.
Listen soft, the words I speak,
they leap from my heart's ledge.
...

Turn oil into clouds
Trees into one story abodes
Deep creases tell a story
Salty on my lips
...

What is this love between you and I
But a fable,
No solid thing.
...

Inside a capsule of brilliant words
and silent laughter
gliding with the stars
...

A zooming, barreling
noisy thinking contraption
My attention
driving the scenic route
...
