Wow this is really cool, I’d like to give this assignment a try. Poetry is just one of those things I’ve always wanted to do but just never have. I’ll subscribe to the RSS feed!

Cone

Dog’s nose going deep, deep into
the cone of the flower,
like a mustached man in a sweater vest
with an ear pressed against
an old phone piece
ending in a funnel.

John: I can see it all – except “Her red and pale / Me a tan wide tower”. Doesn’t quite gel for me with both being dressed in ivory. You could drop those lines altogether and still give us the picture. In fact I think that would make it the lovely poem it so very nearly is now. That ending’s just perfect.

Wedding

My arm around her shoulder
Stainless steel ring on my finger
Red boutonnière pinned to my pocket
Both dressed in ivory
Both smiling
Her red and pale
Me a tan wide tower
Tilted arch of flowers behind us
The gazebo
The backyard wall
Trees and the sky beyond

Resuming summer dress

My cherry-red drapes me loosely,
floats when I move, dances with me.
Deep armholes show flashes of skin,
my underwear is “nude”.

The slit front and scalloped sides
free my winter-white legs
to stick right out in the sun,
to jig and twist and stride.
