Does the world need Another book? Another poem? I add one more to the pile To be left alone
I had it all In my head And then I said Words I do not know which ones
You might know her As blonde eyes Or as the sister who bakes cookies But you see I don’t write this
My grandfather told my father when he proposed to my mother on one condition
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
If I could paint a man Eyes so dark they shine Brooding and stormy Til the smile breaks through If I could paint a man
Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
By nature high-strung But I thought I was strong If not physically, emotionally For things to roll off my back Be mature and take the high road
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
I know it’s for the best But it still hurts Hearing mothers complain For what I would give anything fo… My husband says no
Why do we love sunsets? Distinguishing fascination What other species Must stop and stare A romantic couple
Hospitality To love a stranger It need not be much For one who has little Will appreciate it
I enjoy his company Riding shotgun Conversation No one to overhear Our inside jokes
My sister’s cookies Chocolate chip Got my nephew to Say her name For the first time
I do not enjoy roller coasters I am not chicken But they say You just have to try it! So I do
