"Together Apart", a Sijo-like poem by John Dávila

 Small children move through hallways the color of old snowfall,

Mouths hidden, they cast no shadow under clean fluorescent lights

Crackling as though they’d break. Slow, they walk together, apart.

The well known poem on trees by Joyce Kilmer

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

From my perspective I would edit this brief famous poem writing "nature" (in low key) where the religious poet humbly wrote "god". 

Some grandiose words are used too frequently, suggesting a cultural habituation to simple, even childish imaginary conceptions of reality. 

"Were it not . . ." a very brief poem

Were it not for the excess of your talking 

and the turmoil in your hearts, 

you would see what I see 

and hear what I hear!
