Small Town Sharks

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

A sea full of trees

in a field of corn

where the mist comes in waves

and the dreamers are born

*

beware of the sharks

lurking down near the creek

their sarcasm is sharper

than the bite of their teeth

*

small town ignorance

sure, that's what you may think

but we all wear the pants

when we spit in the sink

*

we may know everyone

by their given nicknames

not much under the sun

beats - 15 minutes of fame

*

We may be a bit slower

than you'd like us to be

a week ending churchgoer

where the forgiveness is free

*

At night as the sun sets

you will find us in awe

cause as good as it could get

this is where we belong
