Yesterday’s list poem about our dog Maggie was so much of a spark to my thinking that I am offering two more list poems today. Even though they are short on words, they require a bigger thought process, narrowing down ideas to find just the right words.
clothes dryer
unexpected:
quitting in the middle of a cycle
remaining reliable for many years
leaving wet clothes to air dry
altering my schedule for the day
not surprising:
lasting for 15+ years
making squeaky, squealing noises of late
resisting all repair attempts
hastening the contemplated purchase of a new one
snowstorm
unexpected:
warmer weather the first of the week
yesterday’s rain continued unfrozen
nothing noticeable at midnight last night
weather predictions often wrong
not surprising:
snow changes activities that seemed set in stone
plans had been made for a trip to the lake
weekend party ahead for future bride and groom(?)
winter of 2015

I enjoyed both of your poems! It always seems to require an intensive thought process to produce words that can connect beyond the literal text! Well done!
I enjoyed reading your poems and the juxtaposition created. Nice organization!
Love the unexpected/not surprising structure of your poems. I haven’t seen that done before. Thanks for sharing!
Your poems were so creative! Great work!
Your poems say so much with economy of words. Brief bold statements of fact and feeling.
And my condolences to your loss of your dryer, and congratulations on a future bride and groom in your life.
