(2014)
Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump
My sister’s cookies Chocolate chip Got my nephew to Say her name For the first time
If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile
She is no longer Part of my life I’ve moved on My life is full With friends
I am unique In so many ways But while variety excites What we look for Is our common thread
I love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized
Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack
How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
I spend all my time Fighting with you In my head If we fought At least it would be
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
Hillary’s beautiful Rose Bumpy’s favorite princess My mini-me, my little lion Cute button nose Framed by red hair
My heart breaks A little each day For problems I can’t solve For things I can’t change All I can do is pray
I told everyone About you The ugly beast Inside of me You can’t hide
