Poetry Month / “Clothespins”

I will hang love notes

by the dozen

with wooden clothespins

from the branches

outside your bedroom window

so when you awake from

sleepwalking through this life

you will know how much I cared

or tried to.

Exquisite in its simplicity.

Thanks – I like that one for the same reason. A lot of these are excerpts from larger poems, but this one stands by itself.
