Poets' Practice Pad

25. Write a poem using (or about) images of geometric shapes

"Where are you?" I whispered.
"On a plane" you pursed
darkening circles in your notebook
in black and more black.

So I admired you from a distance
ashamed to view you whole
My glazed eyes refracting
this new lense.

Pale squares meld with fleshy sequences,
triangulated tidbits and prismatic light.
This cylinder is lonely dark
without geometric evidence of
the kaleidoscope in your smile.
