Striped Sky

Striped Sky

Over Iowa now

High aircraft put long stripes

In a cloudless sky

Six or more at a time

I come to the porch today

Hoping it's the special day

I'll see polka dots

Is it too much to ask for them

To stitch me a blanket

Of clouds

To drape my home

In flowers

In colored needlepoint

For spring
