Dear Tour Guide


Your nose stud is deliciously subtle,

Dear tour guide.

Maybe your blonde hair is a little fresh-washed stringy.

I'll wrap it around my pinky finger so that I do not forget your

 

Blue eyes?

 

Yes, must have been blue

As the ocean

A summer's sky

 

Remembering your smile, I look up into...

 

No, must have been green.

 

While I stare down the fine-muscled, long curly haired skateboarder,

Tell the group about the architectural history.

 

Fickle desires drag through the blood.

You discuss advocacy programs.

I want to lick that shiny little bud.

 

That's a bit lude.

 

Is it rude to talk about you like this in my down-time reflections?

Your white-knit beanie drove me wild.

Must I write you a sonnett,

Dear tour guide?

Must you be Shakespeare's most ethereal light-walk, sweet-talk fairy

In my eyes?

I catch a glimpse of that sun-flash call

to me, dear tour guide?

 

It sings like the distant call of drums.

You mention a famous alum.

I dream of how we'd succumb.

I'm from South Dakota and I love poetry. In every spare moment I am composing lines to new works in my head, and I am always working to gain inspiration from everything around me. I play the piano, guitar, ukulele, banjo, and percussion. I love to draw and I love anything that involves zombies. Someday I will see the world.
