2010 -- 2.2 (Spring) Poetry

Nippon

by Taylor Meredith

Pink cherry blossom petals like puckered lips

in clusters against a blue backdrop of sky.

Her hair down her back like spilled ink,

lifting weightless in the wind.

Plaid skirts running by in a blur,

hands over mouths shielding giggles.

A statue with an aura of green leaves,

cross legged in eternal zen.

A white cobblestone bridge arched like an eldery back,

sitting strong and brave over still waters.
