To Avalon by Lindsay Pelliccia
in the winds
that accost
the shoreline,
the car with
the owl
license plate
speeds down
the parkway
as thoughts of
childhood and
divine
intervention
mix with the
summer music
from the
yellow,
second-hand
CD
“I ‘trashed’ this piece because I felt that it would be difficult for others to relate to. Sometimes I like writing poetry that only I will understand. This piece happens to be one of these poems. While I enjoy this type of poetry, I do think it can be difficult for others to understand or grasp on to.”
