Montana by Jennifer M. Everything's too pure here Snow profaned by my footsteps My breath's too out of place My hands are warm and dirty Against the marble ground The teasing ice invites me To stop and weep forever there To lie and never go back Just stare and stare upon the drifts Marvel at what I cannot be Let it chastise my impure fingers And sting and melt and fall away Into the desert of white	A Single Raindrop By Alex A. A single raindrop falls From barren desert skies A single raindrop falls Like a tear from the stars That raindrop sings Of how fragile we are Gazing upon empty skies Nothing is as it seems The dunes of sand The timeless gusts of wind This shifting landscape greets my eyes In this ageless world I have found a desert rose A single raindrop falls Upon this desert rose
Breathless By "Icing on The Cake" A homeless man And a movie star Are rendered breathless By the waxing moon A lonely girl, An old married couple Are rendered breathless By a summer breeze Hopeless and alone, Happy and careless Are rendered breathless By the costless things An office worker And a garbage man Are rendered breathless By snow through a window	Street Winter By Jennifer M. The trees murmur "winter," Boughs dancing with a rustle. Behind and above them, rests The dusty, silver sky. And on the muddy sidewalk, Joan soils her new shoes, And crimson-cheeked William Blows steamed words to the wind. Spraying brown throughout the street, They jump and laugh like windchimes, Below the dancing trees, And whispering, dusted sky.
Whisper of Night By Jennifer M. I've stopped to look at the silhouettes of trees And the soft, sapphire, sunset sky Stopped to hear the sigh of the wind And the quiet musings of my own backyard I've paused to feel the breath of fall And the singing of the cicadas Paused to run my fingers through grass And watch blue and white pass above me I've learned you are here in the pain and the rush And even when I ignore your constant gift Learned that your love is the rain on my skin And the whisper of night that surrounds me
Dragons By Kat O. They flit and flutter Over lush green Islands Wearing the colors of the rainbow Buzzing and flying Over the lily white castles Of our dreams	Waterfalls, Anonymous Every drop I hear and feel Sooths my aching soul Calms my nerves And strengthens my bond The plunge I take With icy hands griping me Smoothes me all over And relieves me of my burdens Calmness washing over me Betwixt the waterfall
Water Poems By Jennifer M. 1. A soft drizzle falls from the leaves I dance in the sacred rainfall As the sun is dappled on my skin 2. I look through broken glass Upon the bleached, soaked pavement Of the lonely thunderstorm 3. I am the rain-dance, and must go on And dance into lifelessness to save my world If I stopped, it would die of pain and a parched heart
Untitled By E. Snyder I hear the call of the ocean along with the seagulls cry Oh, how I wish I could stay all day Stay all day, what a delightful thought To kick back and not worry about time until the day ends To take off your shoes and bury your feet in the sand To build a sand castle with a moat that never ends Oh, I wish, I wish, that I could stay all day just for one day To find seashells along the ocean shore bead them into a necklace To swim out to the dolphins play their games To just have fun in the sun until the day ends, is all I want to do Just kick back and not worry about time until the day ends I hear the call of the ocean along with the seagulls cry Oh, how I wish that I could stay, Stay All Day	The Storm By E. Synder As thunder cracks And lightning flashes The wind roars As it pours down rain And hails The waves pound the shore As the storm grows worse The ocean becomes a death sentence As the storm grows worse The animals hide As the storm grows worse Some animals die As the storm grows worse All the people hide Just as the storm grows worse The rain pounding on the ocean The waves eating the sand All as the storm grew worse As the storm grew worse Five people died As the storm grew worse They lost their lives And the weatherman said That day would be "The perfect day to go to the beach" Just shows what he knows
