Backlit,
an S-curve silhouette
patters in the bathroom.
Jars and bottles
tapping on the counter.
Frogs peep-singing,
heard through
the window screen.

Nestled,
her match is already
drowsy and dreaming
of puzzle-piecing
the night.

Oh I love this! I can just see her going through her routine while he drifts off . puzzle-piecing the night is such an excellent line. This is really beautiful.

You should come and write for me at Poetry Please This week we are discussing doing a special challenge where we will write a collaborative renga with everyone contributing to the poem. Normally, everyone writes his own poem off of a single word prompt. Come check it out. We'd love to have you there.
