Poetry Corner: Rose M. Villiers, Marilyn Mays & Brielle Bolds

Dearest Poetry Corner Readers,
As we go into our summer break, I’d like to thank every one of you for your support of The Poetry Corner. Your readership is the pillar of print. The high desert continues to be an everflowing arts community that inspires all who interact with it. The origin story of The Poetry Corner itself begins with an open mic holding space for such art. May these local children and budding artists serve as a reminder that although we can sometimes feel los — through art, shall we always find our way. May the summer heat bring you into loving communion with water and may you find rest where you need it.

With love and gratitude,
Angelus

I like to clappity clap and
I like to snappity snap
and
I like to jiggle my hips
And it goes like this
Clappity clap, snap snap snap snap
Move your hips now
Clappity clap, snap snap snap snap
Clappity clap, snap snap snap snap
Do it like this now
Clappity clap, snap snap snap snap

The forest
I like to be in the lush, green forest, with beautiful
birds singing and rivers murmuring.
Bright green moss under my feet and the sunlight
filtering through the trees making them glow.
Vibrant yellow butterflies with their wings shining.
Green everywhere I look, and a cool breeze drifting
through the leaves making them dance and wave.

Things I Love Most
I love Love
I love my family
I love myself
Because there’s no right or wrong
in what you do being YOU!
I love my home
I love my pets
I love exploring nature
I love to feel free
I love to spend time with my friends and family
The things I love are in my heart
Never let your fears tear you apart.
