  5. Dustbowl Daysby Nicole S. Porter Handkerchief to nose,I cross these dusty streetsthe wind whipping my gingham dressaround my legs. My son carries his frosty bottleof orange Nehi popwhile my daughter hugs her dollyclose to her chest. We struggle, nomads fightingthe swirling whorls of sandtrying to keep the dustout of our eyes.

  6. When the wind settles againI can see the barren landssurrounding our tiny town -Hopeful skeletons. The farmers playing checkersin front of the gas stationgrumble about the price of cornand their souls.
