Two Poems from our Summer Poetry Collection

 
 
JUNE
   
Author: Veronica Maldonado
   
Poem:
JUNE
   
  crack me down, figure me out and mold me
turn me into beads on this southern beach and braid me
in your hair like an ornament,
part of your collection and misfit charm

last July, near the sand
you left a trail of glass and shells
part of the scavenger hunt
where I find and count
things you left behind

July, near the sand
the clouds played volleyball
with the sun
an endless orange whose flare won't give up
playfully ending our last day,
days before you'd hate or shun
days before the phone had rung
and after we'd leave June behind

in July, with the sand
I felt my wet hair over my eyes
yet I squinted to find you
and where your riddle lies
somewhere beneath your skin and the sea's waves
I'll hear you breathe and maybe hear you say

In July, near the sea
you erased all thoughts of spring
as if they would vanish you
from this breezy paradise where palm trees sway
over our heads,
you set the rythm at which they move
with your breath and heartbeats
while I lay here beneath pillows and bedsheets

In July, I started to feel the chill of snow
knowing that I soon should go
but you stayed with your eyes fixed on the sky,
you still live in July

SEASON'S DEATH
   
Author: Matthew Baibak
   
Poem: SEASON'S DEATH
   

The cool spring breeze blows against the dead brown grass
Each individual blade waving it’s thin brown arm in the air
Inviting summer to come
The once crisp fall leaves stick to the ground in soggy wet sheets
Their melted winter blanket transformed them as a pot of boiling water transforms spaghetti

The pool in the yard is still hibernating and wearing its winter cover
The melted winter snow has collected on top
Lakes and Ponds of all sizes and shapes replace the once desert of white snow
Black as the night sky, each lake is as individual as a fingerprint
And the only evidence of the once great desert

The setting is now very gray, but with spring it will begin to blossom
It will eventually form a great bouquet of color and activity
The setting that will catch one’s eye

Winter and Summer
Death and Life
Opposite, but both extremely beautiful
Who ever knew that the death of winter could be as beautiful as the life of summer?
No one can ever complain that a season’s over
Because after all, there’s always next year…
