faces and masks

faces back to back,

and masks in the middle,

purple nose,

and eyes bulging,

known the emotions felt.

asleep

in dream land,

she floats,

along with stones,

and creatures,

alive only in her imagination.

Douglas Polk

the band

a band,

full of creativity,

and songs,

a family connected by experience,

and talent.

love at first sight

love at first sight,

she takes his breath away,

hoping to dance the night away.

Douglas Polk

monster or superhero

the girl not sure whether to be scared or relieved,

wonders what is under the mask,

a man or a monster.

Douglas Polk

river in autumn

a river hid in hills of sand,

a place my mind returns to again and again,

wondering if it still the way I remember it,

or changed the same as the rest of the world.

Douglas Polk

wondering

wondering why I see,

a giant hand,

or maybe a gorilla,

a librarian,

a dinosaur or ghost,

maybe my imagination,

broken beyond repair.
