Three Poems
by Jodi Adamson

To the Lost Ones

Lost poetry,
dreamt of you
plastered to a homeless man’s
red shoe.

Missing poetry,
in the rain,
my words washed
down the drain.

The Nighthawks by Edward Hopper

Pitch-black illumination,
silent predators perch on stools
in still contemplation.
But, inside their plumage,
hearts hop with anticipation of the hunt.

The Yellow Sunflower

So much depends
upon

a yellow sun
flower

misted with morning
dew

beside the nuclear
plant
