Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field

Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless

Ask any female Love Is in the details I love you Three greatest words

My heart breaks A little each day For problems I can’t solve For things I can’t change All I can do is pray

Don’t talk down to me I am not a child! Even children Deserve respect

My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory

If you find someone That can do it Better than you Get them on your team

May sun is warm An old friend You have missed June sun Still smiles

I look away Afraid to see Flicker of nerves In their eye A clench

Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go

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
