our box

Lying in the grass
Backyard tall
The very dirt
I thought
I'd be buried
¤
In pieces
We spell
*L*O*V*E*
In outlines
Of stars
¤
Circle of moon
Holds our single silhouette
Dressed in silver light
We live, breathe
In our box

Interesting perspective lies here in the grass, this little box, framed by a world around it. Well done.

Contemplative poem that considers the box we live in and one we'll eventually inhabit; in addition to projecting "outside the box" of our microcosm. Very well done.

You always make me think. I love your words. Beautiful.

I absolutely love short poems (ADD perhaps, or so my wife says :-)) that make me think, and take me back to fond memories. More importantly, I like the woven complexes of your words “Backyard tall”, for me, it’s these phrases which represent the true joy of poetry. Wonderfully done! Thank you.
