1

in class
silent fart?
side eyes meet mine

2

back of class
a cough trying to hide
explosive gas

3

sound in the silence 
the little girl
embarrassed 

4

silent classroom
a whiff . . .
everyone suspects

5

it didn’t make a sound
prim, prissy, and proper
I blame the dog

6

heads swivel
searching
for i, the farter

7

my only friendship
can’t stand
downwind

8

after the party
finally alone
I let it out

9

a juicy one
I check
my pants

10

date night
the first fart joke
was funny

11

hey 
pull my finger
haha

12

seeking who to blame
the fart on . . .
the dog sleeps soundly

13

chili for dinner 
nobody wants 
to ride home with dad

14

tacos for dinner
we’ll pay
later

15

greasy fish fry . . .
dueling farts
all the way home

16

grandpa in his chair
looks like he's done nothing
smell says differently

17

farts funny when young
not in high school
funny again in college

18

air slips out
from behind the gate
a strong odor lingers

19

dad farts
and blames it on a duck
. . . there are no ducks

20

baby farts
the only cute kind
but smelly

21

meditating
by the old pond
a fart lifts my spirits

22

here I sit, broken hearted
had to poop
but only farted

23

ew it stinks
whoever smelt it
dealt it

24

tummy feels better
nose does not
fart

25

flowing in the wind
long stalks of grass
I walk unbothered

26

in a barren wasteland 
I imagine 
floating leaves

27

dinner plate 
filled with greenery 
yuck

28

his favorite color
grass in the summer
a ripe avocado

29

grass the trees and leaves 
adorning the world 
in green

30

grass shines
emerald teardrops fall
the world's ashes clean again

31

dusting my hat
and shining my buckles
leprechaun’s day

32

a mom original
the lullaby she sang
my favorite song

33

no notifications
my friend’s green afternoon
fills me with green

34

strangers
on the train
they talk for hours

35

on the radio
a familiar song
i sing till horse

36

food coma
traditional
Charlie Brown movie

37

soft, loud snow —
in december
I miss the color green

38

not quite close, 
can't help but notice 
her shaking hands

39

underneath 
a blanket of snow 
soil and green remains

40

hints of green
in her eyes
only I see

41

indoor plants
my favorite color
might be green

42

sitting next to me
the smell of someone’s grandma
comforts me

43

welcome to the world 
thin curtains reveal 
shining emeralds

44

on the drive home 
I pass by 
swathes of verdant

45

vibrant flowers
bloom on the green
dessert giant

46

old roads remember
who i was before i left —
soft ghosts in the pines

47

bus window fogged up
the stranger's reflection
becomes my company

48

late walk after dark
every porch light flickering
a story i missed
