Mix and Match small stone #2

The water slipped like ice

across her body

As she swam

strong as an eel.

Mix and Match small stone

Using a writing prompt from Poetry Tow Truck: Mix and Match clichés,

In the wilting heat

she rode

sturdy as a rose.

Small Stone: July 12, 2011

The plaintive bleat

of goats

pierces the foggy distance between

their shed and

my deep soft pillow.
