April is National Poetry Month. To celebrate, I am posting one of my poems every day. You can play along too! Or, if you don't write, post a poem that you love. I would love to see my friendslist filled with poetry all through April.


Summer's Army

an ice cream truck chimes its warcry
calling forth the troups
barefoot
running over dirty pavement

sitting on the doorstep with a smile
watching
these tiny soldiers of summer
select their weapons
