National Poetry Month - part 2

A couple of different types of poems.  This time, the prompts asked me to use three different words or elements in my poems.  Below are the results:

The Onion

Paper-like skin,
In the field you rest,
translucent, oh so thin.
preparing for harvest.
Rows of dusty onions,
Plucked from restful slumber,
calling out to loved ones.
Die in drastic numbers.

three words:
skin drastic dusty



Smoke Monster

Smoke flitted through
the keyless keyhole.
Stretching, reaching, trying
to find the recently
blown up,
helium filled,
stretchy texture
of the child's blue balloon.

three elements:
a balloon, smoke and a keyhole

Hope you like them.  I think I'm going to try to write poetry for the rest of the week.

Until tomorrow.
