#Poetry #Writing
Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery
Nothing makes people flee Like reading them poetry They value it in theory But please don’t make them read Surprise me with your verse
Antisocial tendencies Amplified by sickness I can people watch Yet I can’t people talk I am lonely
Algunos me gusta compartir Calientitos Justo cuando salgan del horno Que no se enfríe Por eso lo escribí
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
Who’s the best? Ask my Daddy He’ll tell you Enthusiastically He always sees
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
Manos fuertes No me sueltan De la cama Yo les digo Me tengo que ir
I told everyone About you The ugly beast Inside of me You can’t hide
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump
Down to earth I am but of dust Dust particles I see floating in the air Carbon molecules
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
