Prince of Autism (an erasure poem) by Victoria Meyers (23 of 30)

The prince
in the corner of the room
among the shadows
boy
what do you want?
softly
perform a a little test
kind face
appeared suspiciously
hurt
hundreds of times
only free
the boy
glanced toward the prince who remained in the shadows
would you mind?
gesturing a moment
all you want
exactly all you have
still unsure of what was to come

Earth Day (an erasure poem) by Victoria Meyers (22 of 30)

Hands around
slow riser
thermometer
sick medicine
sick medicine
knocking
thunder
contagious
dead
big day
kind
hold hands
peace
saving the earth

Water Power (an erasure poem) by Victoria Meyers (11 of 30)

incredible power and absolute calm
focused as the sea
watched
towered above
the sky
water curled
powerful
massive waves
vanished
powerful churning and swirling
invincible ships were overcome
by the force of the waves
escape disappeared
away
the ocean
tidal wave
mastered water
paddling nothing
