A poem by Stevie, inspired by these five words provided by Evonne Loray Asbury Wu: Blossom, Melodic, Succulent, Airy, Bluebird


It’s Spring
And in between
Showers of rain,
The wise rock
On porch swings
And the learned know to walk
And bluebirds sing
Melodic in between
Sweeping flights
And the breeze hits airy on cheeks
Between bites
Of cheese cubes
Because the wise
And the learned
Know how to soak
Up life and store it
Like succulent roots
