VOWELS WITH MEGAN

Mary F. C. PrattDec. 12, 2006Dreamy

A shaft of orange light, unexpected before the end of a long gray day

Eel black, luminescent through the thick green river

I am winter-pale peach, being, thatched with white and black

O luminous apple-green: Mutsu, Greening, unripe Mac

YoU are fresh and blue, tinged with the scent of summer clover

And Y is it sometimes silver, sometimes jade, flickering just on the edge of visible light?

A few years ago, I was mentor for a high school student working on poetry. We did assignments together. Here is my poem about the vowels.

Learn by heart: tap a gap

A shaft of orange light,
a long day
