24 Poems ~ 24 Hours
I am a current English writing and literature major and art minor at the University of New Haven. I write weekly articles for the Odyssey Online, am president of S.P.E.L.L. (Student Pagans Educating Leading and Learning), and historian of WRITE poetry club. I reside in my first grownup apartment with my roommate and plants in West Haven, CT.
I feel the Vibration
Of bass and tamber echo
Through my bones
As I breathe in breaths of
Pink moscato.
With curtains open,
Open wide like blue
Caffeinated eyes,
The world can see us
Dancing
Bare-legged and laughing.
There are passing eyes
Moving with the passing lights
Beneath the technicolor
That washes against the pavement,
But all I can feel
Is the smiling eyes
Of the moon.
She watches her
Earth-bound
Star-struck
Daughters dance their way
Into the early dawn.
The sound of coffee
Brewing;
Music raining down
From a darkened stormy
Cloud.
I watch the clouds grow
And then edge their way
Over
To the Ceramic perimeter.
They fade away and
Expose
The rich, black
New moon.
A new moon
For a new day.
I’m Alyssa, a current English writing and literature major and art minor at the University of New Haven in West Haven, CT. I’ll be participating in the poetry half-marathon tomorrow. I’ll be drinking coffee and writing all day 🙂
