Mother’s Day
Undercooked pancakes,
misspelled cards, weeds for flowers.
Love makes them perfect.
Prom limo
such a sweet ride they
didn’t want to leave so they
did Wendy’s drive-thru
Prom group
She can’t stand her. He’s
her ex, so don’t include them.
Can’t we go alone?
Prom date
Deciding who to
take like negotiating
Mideast peace treaty.
Prom dress
In it she was arm
candy, someone that turned heads
unexpectedly.
Study hall
The play was about
them. His unrequited love
her indifference.
Random acts of afterschool kindness
M came home and washed
all the dishes in the sink
trying to be nice.
Online life on the line
He sent sensitive
documents to a stranger
thinking it was me.
May day
When’s the right time to
wash winter blankets? Last night
I saw snowflakes fall.
