Ms. Pat

by Jazzmine Shire 


The trees probably swayed in delight

I’m sure the birds sang a little louder

And the crickets probably chirped a melody

As your skin drank in the sun

Shoulders swallow down vitamin D 

Like a cold glass of orange juice for breakfast

The toast bacon and eggs would be nothing without you

 

We can’t see your big brown eyes

They’re double shielded behind

Closed lids and large frames

 

Your full lips

Turn slightly towards  

The warmth from the sun 

Juicy like the berries you'd refuse to eat

 

You are hot chocolate personified

Velvety brown skin drapes your toned arms

A string of pearls drape your clavicle 

Like the mini marshmallows you would sneak in my cup

 

It's warm 

and happy 

and full of life

 

The trees probably swayed in delight

I’m sure the birds sang a little louder

The crickets probably chirped a melody

As the sun focused all her energy on you
