A collection of awkward poems

Awkward Eye Contact

Making awkward eye contact

with two furry rabbits,

I instantly felt guilty

swallowing my last

bite of roasted

carrots.

...

Soggy leaves

leave behind the

residue of autumn.

Fertilizing summer’s soil

so the winter snowflakes can blossom.

...

You’re the

celestite crystal

vibrating my mahogany

mantel above the brick fireplace.

Energizing the birch smoke,

causing blue ash clouds

to crystallize as resin

on the bookcase.

My drug of choice

when needing to resort

my delusive heart to

its illusive hiding place.

...

Jealous

of your eyes,

stars fall to earth to

study how they shine.

Unfortunately, their education

was cut short once they realized

you’re simply one of a kind.
