The Night Before the Spelling Test

by The Bright Voice

Original EveryPoem Studio house-voice poem.

Necessary has one collar, two sleeves, and socks I always lose. Wednesday hides a whole day inside another day. Beautiful begins well, then changes its mind. I write each word five times. By morning they stand in a row, trying to look innocent.
