              Prefect Home

          By: Mylinh Nguyen

One day a bunch of people got together 

a thinker, a dreamer, a lover, and

your very own big fat plumber 

a thinker to explain complex schemes 

a dreamer to do nothing but dream 

a lover to add some spice, it so seems. 

a plumber to fix ordinary things.

They all got together for one mission: 

to build the most perfect house one can dream

in their most prefect house, you can see a

beige cream wall filled with the most memories

like a resort as you drift off at sleep,

another world is waiting for you to keep.

In the most prefect kitchen, where messes

are made. Kids eating cookies, ask for more.

Three stinky handprints all over the tile

counter. Peeping to see what’s for supper.

Saying grace, and seeing each other’s face

With cozy nights in front of the fire,

and enjoying a red lovely book, 

your husband walks by and gives you a loving look.

bonding over laughter and tickles as

the war goes on. Kicking and screaming

asking for help. A neighbors’ anxious knock

puts everyone at rest. Ahhh quite at last.

The most prefect home isn’t what’s inside

it, but the people that are in it.

One day a bunch of people got together 

a thinker, a dreamer, a lover and

plumber. Who all shared that same mission.

This Most Perfect Hill by Lisa Jarnot

On this most perfect hill

with these most perfect dogs

are these most perfect people

and this most perfect fog

In this most perfect fog

that is the middle of the sea

inside the perfect middle of

the things inside that swing

In this most perfect rhyme

that takes up what it sees,

with perfect shelter from the

rain as perfect as can be,

In this most perfect day

at the apex of the sun

runs this most perfect

frog song that is roiling

from the mud

In these most perfect habits

of the waving of the trees,

through this imperfect language

rides a perfect brilliancy.
