Please Don't Jump

My name is Shelby and I like being told stories and sharing my own when asked. My sincerest goal is to contribute to the tradition of the American short story.

April, a Silly Excerise with Illiteration

Against the ambling arbor, attention to the
Assembly of abundant Achillea is augmented by
Afternoons always alive in adolescence.
Pegging plain pants on the line, and
Pretending to pull panoplies of plentiful
Pleasures as people plant patches near the
Roots and ruts running rampant among
Rambling, ragged orchids returning
Restlessly with the
Idyllic image of ivy.
Ian—immaculate and immodest—
Identifies imperfect images in the
Lofty, luscious clouds lingering low.
Laughing, we lay down lost in the land, lost in the 
Light of love and living.
