Poem 22 - Starfish

[me]

Starfish - Valerie Worth

Spined
With sparks
Limbed
With flames,

Climbing
The dark
To Cling
And shine

Until the
Slow tide
Turns
Again:

Not even
Knowing
What stars
Are

But
Even so,
The
Same.

Bluejay By Landen Weathers

Puffed
With feathers
Blue
And gray

Flying
South
To visit
And breed

To beat
The snow
Year
Again

Knowing
Why
He makes
The fly

But
Never doubts
The
Instinct.
