POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I love getting feedback on my poems and I am not easily offended as long as it is constructive criticism. If you comment on my poetry, I will most likely return the favor.
I Want To Be The Girl That Flies
I want to be the girl that flies
With crystal wings
Across blue skies
Untouchable
From down below
Always knowing
Where to go
I want to be the girl that lands
And this girl is greeted
With outstretched hands
I want my friends to keep me safe
From that scary lonely terrible place
I want to be the girl that dances
She’s not afraid of taking chances
She’s been burned
But she’s not shy
I want to be the girl that flies
With crystal wings
Across blue skies
Untouchable
From down below
Always knowing
Where to go
I want to be the girl that lands
And this girl is greeted
With outstretched hands
I want my friends to keep me safe
From that scary lonely terrible place
I want to be the girl that dances
She’s not afraid of taking chances
She’s been burned
But she’s not shy
I want to be the girl that flies

Prayer of An Unwed Mother
pHush little baby please don’t cry
There’s not a speck of hope in the vast night sky
You got a mommy who loves you
She’s doing her best
She’s rented a room
So you can get some rest
Cuz she cannot sleep if you keep on crying
Hush little baby please don’t moan
You’ll make it through cuz you’re not alone
You’ve got a mommy who needs you
Though she may weep
For your daddy who has
A Promise to keep
Hush little baby please don’t wail
For once in his life
Your daddy cannot fail
I’ll bring you up
I’ll treat you right
If...

The Runaway
The streets are silent as I walk
Listening to the midnight talk
My sneakers fall on broken glass
Scattered shards, just like my past
In their houses, they sleep unknowing
Above the trees the light is growing
In the sky there is no moon
It will be daylight pretty soon
Only darkness feels my pain
In the sun I can’t remain
No, in the daylight I can’t stay
Because I am
