The Blog Needs a Poem

The blog needs a poem.
Where’s Jackson?
Get those words,
stack them over here.
You there!
Arrange these words
so that they mean something.

The college is coming.

Here, tack them on the wall.
Rhyme something, fool
but don’t let them catch you
being
sentimental.
The flowers wait:

The blog needs a poem,
read those words.
Do they say peace?
The flowers wait:
Get Jackson in here.
Jackson, I need a catchy ending.
Make it say
peace.
Get those images of the bodies in line
in that ditch.
Pile them up with those words


The last poem was A Rock that Moves. The next poem is Thank You Mary Jane
