he stuffed the slot with magazines
and did not let them fall one at a time
as my post- it kindly requested
the kid from two houses down
ran across the lawn again
narrowly missing the sprinklers
i'll have to drop his mother a note
my sister called
her oldest has cookies for sale
i still have dosi-dos from last year
i ordered four boxes of lornadoones
and you have gone
Author Bio:
While working in her middle school’s library, Bridgette Bianca met her best friend - a book of poetry written by a teenage girl in Harlem almost two decades before. She checked out A Screaming Whisper by Vanessa Howard so much she committed it to memory, down to the spacing of the text. That book held her hand until she was ready to write her own poems. Now, she writes poetry and hopes it can keep someone else company. Bridgette Bianca is a native of Los Angeles where she teaches English at the college level. She received her Bachelor of Arts in English from Howard University and her Master of Fine Arts in Writing from Otis College of Art & Design.
