Liquid Joy by Sharlene Robinson Merriment Like sound Dribbling across cool water of a lake
Dancing, bounding, lightly
Washing
over.
Leaving a
trail
of helium-filled
Bubbles;
Popping
like lightening
Flashes
Glimmers. Transient sparkles on a
Tray of liquid
glass.
Gliding and leaving
Laughter
in its
wake.
Sticky Fingers by Randal Gilliam The good
things go
like popsicles
Lick them so
they'll last
them quickly or hold them and watch them melt But the good things go or crunch
So
I
thank
God
for
memories
and for sticky fingers
