Dog
by Valarie Worth Under a maple tree the dog lies down, Lolls his limp Tongue, yawns, Rests his long chin Carefully between Front paws; Looks up, alert; Chops, with heavy Jaws, at a slow fly, Blinks, rolls On his side, Sighs, closes His eyes: sleeps All afternoon In his loose skin. |
Grass
by Valarie Worth Grass on the lawn says nothing: Clipped, empty, Quiet. Grass in the fields whistles, slides, casts up a foam of seeds, Tangles itself With leaves: hides Whole rustling schools Of mice. |
Fireworks
by Valarie Worth First A far thud Then the rocket Climbs the air, A dull red flare, To hang, a moment Invisible, before Its shut black shell cracks And claps against the ears Breaks and billows into bloom Spilling down clear green sparks, gold spears Silent sliding silver waterfalls and stars |
