Poems for diabetics
(2015)
My soft spot My sweet boy I’d do anything for Who convinced me Little boys are the best
Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
Ask any female Love Is in the details I love you Three greatest words
Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field
The whole world Aches and groans Do you feel her pain? The human in me Wants to heal mankind
If I was in a beauty pageant My talent would be 'Lefty who writes upside-down’ Beside the contestant Who burps her ABC’s
A conversation With a true friend Leaves your life richer Maybe with a laugh A smile on your face
Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack
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
Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go
I am stronger Than you think I am I am weaker Than I look
I am sorry That I cannot be happier I know that I’d be prettier If I smiled If I could smile
The E’s squeak by The I’s are too excited The U’s come after Q But the A’s and the O’s They flow
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
