VOWELS WITH MEGAN
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.
