Poetry Caching in Spring
A realtor box
with free poems staked in yard
awaits visitors
Some walkers pick up
poems, thinking house for sale
crumble, toss poems
Rain seeps in the box
dribbles down smudging pages
Sun will curdle them
Walkers sit on wall
resting, reading poems, put
in backpacks or hands
Yanked up by the stake
to mow lawn, rests on trash cans
near camellias
Hail pelts plastic
casing, white as snow, soft ping
droned out by traffic
Stick-on, raised letters
offer poetry to all
who come to pass by
