This Most Perfect Day by Kimberly Stutevoss
On this most perfect day the sun shines down
On these most perfect dogs running around
With the most perfect people running through
The most perfect fog rising in the morn
In the most perfect fog that is over
The most perfectly blue sea with the waves
Inside the perfect middle of the things
That are inside the things that swing and roll
In this most perfect rhyme it is seen that
It takes up what it sees throughout the sea
With the most perfect shelter on a boat
In the middle of the sea with the boat
In this most perfect day the sun shines down
At the apex of the sun runs the most
Perfect song of frogs throughout the sunset
From the brown mud and ponds below they croak
In these most perfect habitats nature
Is the most perfect with the trees swinging
this most imperfect language the day's done
With the most perfect day about to end

This Most Perfect Hill
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.
Kimberly,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your poem. I really liked how you started off rhyming, with the words down and around. I thought it was a good way to start off your poem!
