Combination Poem

Another in-class assignment. Directions: make 2 lists then combine them into a poem. I used my room and my grandparent's pyramid house)

The cold glow of the computer monitor
illuminates the Buddha that calms me.
Two blue wool scarves are out of place in the desert of Las Vegas.
But it cools down at night and
the sphinx guards the door
against unwanted spirits.

A jar of change in case of an
emergency
run to a Laundromat.
Old pictures of friends from high school are
brightened by the sun coming through the
stained glass.

Glass prisms lie on
each window sill.
The window is open a crack and the peach tree
in the garden is showered
by the artificial rain
falling up from the sprinkler.
