A portrait
(2014)
If I was in a beauty pageant My talent would be 'Lefty who writes upside-down’ Beside the contestant Who burps her ABC’s
I don’t expect Diabetes education For the public But chances are You know one
Why can’t I choose to be somewhere in the middle? Surrounded by extremes Measure everything With a grain of salt
Some I like to share Fresh out of the oven Don’t let it get cold That’s why I wrote it Emotions in that moment
My objective is selfish Not to share or be heard To get it out and move on No one seems to hear my pain No one seems to feel my pain
May sun is warm An old friend You have missed June sun Still smiles
If food is poetry The flavors The smells Singing in harmony Is poetry food?
If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile
I am unique In so many ways But while variety excites What we look for Is our common thread
Algunos me gusta compartir Calientitos Justo cuando salgan del horno Que no se enfríe Por eso lo escribí
Beautiful legs The right shape and curve Olive color without the green That tans and doesn’t burn Until you see
Uh-Oh! Cranky mood Throws a fit Over cereal Cheerios
The whole world Aches and groans Do you feel her pain? The human in me Wants to heal mankind
A family trait Massage Is our vice No shame Take what
