Elizabeth Peterson Poems

Dappled shadows lay on
Uneven wood chips—
A nearly empty
Swingset and one
...

Chalk dust
Under fingernails
Scribble-covered chalkboards
white on green
...

Some say you are evil
But others wonder
Maybe we're all just
Misunderstanding
...

Love.
A flame so strong, only
Time can quench it.
...

Raw passion,
Pure flame;
The world stops turning,
Stops twirling again.
...
