In my fears I am an island
surrounded by water,

In my center rests a volcano.
Hot, molten lava
eats away at my greenness
adding land to water
J.D. Brown 16

9. “Life” by Naomi Long Madgett
Life is but a toy that swings on a bright gold chain
Ticking for a little while
To amuse a fascinated infant,
Until the keeper, a very old man,
Becomes tired of the game
And lets the watch run down.
