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!
