Woman
daughter
only child
blooming lass
plump and ripe
rosy-cheeked
coquette
(A little poem inspired by the character from Washington Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”)
short poetry
Poetry – Outbursts
Outbursts of imagination –
the spontaneous product
of a bored generation
Poetry – Uncomfortable
We are uncomfortable
in this world
not made for us.
Divine providence?
Grand design?
Or just another
cosmic punch line?
Poetry – Someone Else
I thought I wanted
to be an actress,
but now I realize,
I only wanted
the chance
to be someone else.
Poetry – Make It Up As We Go
You read
faster
than I can
turn the page,
so I’ve
learned how
to make up the story
as we go.
Poetry – “Numb” Haiku
When you feel nothing
why does it always end up
feeling horrible?
Poetry – Pride and Prejudice Rewrite
We are all well.
Imagine our surprise,
when our poor mother
was sent off
with bad news,
and never came back
for the truth…
(“rewritten” using bits and pieces of prose from the novel itself)
Poetry – Unicorn Toilet Dreams
Outwit by sleep,
somewhere between dreaming
and awake –
I pick out a unicorn
drinking from a toilet
among the ribbons
of candid snapshots
winding around my head
like cinema still frames.
Poetry – On Chasing Adventure
Doubtless,
the best
has yet to be said
of his wanderings.
Writing of his life
in seclusion,
he says:
Nothing
is more beautiful
than home.
