Poetry Has Never Been About Silence

A poem, a lesson, a tribute, a connection

On the day Toni Morrison Died

a poem, a tribute, a plea

Migraine in Three Haikus

a painful trilogy

Panic

A bit of a poem for something that rarely happens anymore but just happened again

Broken Egg

A haiku

Carefully walk home
Groceries in bags both hands full
Home; one egg broken

She Saves the Bees

A love poem

She swims,
laughing

Adult

a poem

We tell our kids
To use their words

Envy

a poem, a reality, a misnomer

It’s not that I am envious
I do not wish to be them
