You Are

Jonathan A. Lacey

Free verse
The missing piece in a puzzle
Gill less fish
Sunless day
A pistachio with no inside nut
A movie case with no movie
An empty soda can
Moonless night
Fire with no air
Bird with no wings
Ocean with no water
Heart without a beat
Goal less dreamer
Dull blade
Colorless rainbow
Jokeless comedian
Brainless genius
Fruitless fruit tree
Powerless game room
Spring with no leaves
Tool less worker
A Count that's penniless
Umbrella with holes
