We made fires big as coffee tables to approximate the sun.

I wanted to be a mountain.

I wanted us all countless mountains in a detailed painting.

Blood is everywhere as always.

But now it is blown further and oxygenated for longer.

Yet more sad word has come digitally.

We contain no blood with which to soften and warm the sad word.

Cold wind placed and places the house in its mouth.

We met the end numb and almost still.

Number meant less motion meant even number meant totally still.

The buildings stand still.

The buildings still stand.

The buildings like the builders take each other by the hand.

I chose this because I like the words the writer choose. I also enjoy the format used.Along with his ability to word the sentences,

Spawning snow and pink roses against it

Soundlessly collateral and incompatible:

World is suddener than we fancy it.

World is crazier and more of it than we think,

Incorrigibly plural. I peel and portion

A tangerine and spit the pips and feel

The drunkenness of things being various.

And the fire flames with a bubbling sound for world

Is more spiteful and gay than one supposes— 

On the tongue on the eyes on the ears in the palms of one's hands—

There is more than glass between the snow and the huge roses.

I chose this poem because I couldn't find any other ones that I liked. Also because my little cousin told me to pick this one. The fancy words are also a plus in this poem catching my eye.

I'm now almost

extinct in this park

but the people

who say this

don't know

that by smelling

the orchids

in the trees

they're sensing

the fragrance

of my chops

that by hearing

the rumbling

of the waterfalls

they're listening

to my ancestors'

great roar

that by observing

the constellations

of the night sky

they're gazing

at the star spots

on my fur

that I am and

always will be

the wild

untamed

living spirit

of this jungle

I chose this because I believe the writer is trying to raise awareness for this animal. It also shows how beautiful these animals are. They are causing no harm right now so let them live freely in their home.
