(2014)
A fresh faced country girl Who pioneers on her bicycle Catches the eye Of a transplant from Houston Love begins through letters
I told everyone About you The ugly beast Inside of me You can’t hide
My grandfather told my father when he proposed to my mother on one condition
I need to tell you How to survive With our disposition It’s okay to cry Maybe
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
My sister’s cookies Chocolate chip Got my nephew to Say her name For the first time
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field
I am sorry That I cannot be happier I know that I’d be prettier If I smiled If I could smile
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
A healthy pancreas Is like a transmission Seamlessly shifting gears In type 2 diabetics Wear and tear
How can I write how I feel When what I feel is nothing? How can I tell you what I need, What is wrong? When what is wrong
Good secret Bubbles inside Let me out Bad secret Indigestion
Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack
If food is poetry The flavors The smells Singing in harmony Is poetry food?
