As you read these micro poems by Tricia Sankey, you will feel like you are on a hike, communing with the river, rendezvousing with wildflowers, drawing reflections, finding instances of mountain poetry within.
On lovely hike
small chunks of light
behind my eyes
It’s burning there
while river speaks in rhymes
I finally learn
to breathe
and I never turn back
The Earth has changed
There’s been five seasons
just this year
the rocks confide in rolling braille
I read each line with
gentle lips
My eyes slant down
the colors swim
they call my name
I taste one drop
tt swallows me
The faeries saved
their magic at every chance
In chilled thrills
she stole it all
with sultry glance
while sky
stood still
and watched
In my fantasy
we jump
as mountains freeze
We fly!
Your smile seeps into
dry rustling bones
with cataclysmic consequence
We steal back Paradise
just to set it ablaze!
His budget only allowed for
freshly picked forest flowers
and whimsical wishes
He wasted them
all on one
silly girl
