Two boys crouched
shoulder to shoulder,
leaning across
a flooded gutter
heads down
hands in the warm water
oblivious to rain
streaming off their hoods
or wet shoes
or passing cars
or...
Lost to this world
they huddled
carefully damming the flow
with prickery balls
from nearby trees
and gazed longingly
at tiny leaves
cutting across
their lake

These poems are written by family members, and do not necessarily have to rhyme. My original personal challenge was to write a poem a day for one year. (Yes, a three line haiku counts as long as it fits the criteria of 5-7-5.) My revised goal is to write 365 poems in the same number of days.
