I don't really want to go

Emma - granddaughter

 



DREAD

(a Minute pattern created by the late Verna Lee Hinegardner)

 

I stand alone beside the spring

before the fling

called Senior Prom.

I need the calm

those water-lilies, frogs bestow.

(Breathe deeply, slow.)

I lean from hip

but then I slip!

My blue chiffon's all crushed and wet

(I don't regret.)

--tell Tarrio

that I can't go!
