I cannot divide My heart Into four pieces Equally Geometrically
Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms
Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
I spend all my time Fighting with you In my head If we fought At least it would be
The ugliest shade Of green We envy The car The job
I love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized
Dime ¿Qué es su lengua materna? Ni inglés Ni español Sus padres no hablan inglés
Blonde eyes To match her hair Life is mean She counts her blessings Hopes for the best
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
I am stronger Than you think I am I am weaker Than I look
He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere
If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile
A conversation With a true friend Leaves your life richer Maybe with a laugh A smile on your face
I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface
My sister’s cookies Chocolate chip Got my nephew to Say her name For the first time
