Editor’s Note: This April marks the 25th anniversary of National Poetry Month, which celebrates creative writers and poets, of which USF has many. This month, the Scene section will feature a different student poet in each issue.
Poems (typed and pictures):
She walks like she wanders the alleyways of Spain
and her aura is as refreshing
as the forest after the summer rain
She moves through lovers
as fast as New York City
but her touch feels forever
unlike her nature
oh-so-fleeting
She speaks like she is from LA
even though she is up north
from the bay
When she’s with you
she’ll paint you every color
but blue
but when she’s gone
she’ll leave you in a chill
bones in a prattle
like you got rained on
And she is Seattle
———————————————————————————————-
Tonight we thought to do
stick-and-poke tattoos
but afraid of commitment
I was anxious from the start
all I could think of was you
and if I were to get one
it would be your name
right over my heart
the only thing I’m sure of is you
