Poetry Experiment

So, I'm learning to write a little verse; here are three samples.

-

meeting her at the aquarium

walking through dark rooms
creatures glow in water
observing us through fisheye
we stand, stare, and bloom

displaying nature's bait  
a museum sways desire 
alluring me with moments
she's hoping for a trace

standing amidst the blue
moisture spells the mood
sinking from her lips
we're wet, whirling, attuned



cappuccino girl

presented neat, beautiful, sexy
pick up slowly
blow foam gently
sip delicately
place back down
wait patiently
pick up again
breathe softly
sip repeatedly
over and over
until only drops are left
with dried foam around the edges

-

alaska girl

to the last frontier I must go
to see my friend who likes the snow

she has a plan for us to see
glaciers, trails, and creatures of the sea

I tried my best to come primed
for the type of fun she had in mind

we explored all over and set up camps
where salmon swam, splashed, and danced

there's so much mystery in this unblemished place
like the natural beauty of her face

I'm proud to say, I didn't fall short
this city boy showed plenty of resource

up the mountain, she urged me to haul
and I tried my best not to fall
but I did
