POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Poetry is my voice for change. I have 12 kids with my husband of 22 years. The poetry I write comes from books, movies, and most of all, from my life. Finally squeezed out of me by my nature like a long held breath.

Fugitive Breasts
Mother’s breasts are on the run
Baby is the law
Baby has license for nursing fun
Nips weary of baby jaw
Baby seems largely in charge
Till sleepy hour comes
As tot eyes drift
Boobs are found at large
Baby is the law
Baby has license for nursing fun
Nips weary of baby jaw
Baby seems largely in charge
Till sleepy hour comes
As tot eyes drift

Selfish Pussy
Posh pussy with a tail
Waving round your face
Feeling catty with my male
You're petting me with grace
Selfish pussy eats your time
But I'll give you all mine
Up on your lap I sit fine
Trade computer for purrs
Don't got time for the web
Gotta watch me purring
Stretch out with me in bed
Your anxiety I'm curing
So pet your selfish pussy
I'll set your mind at ease
I'm under foot again
But curing your disease
After all your petting
I feel my dues to pay
Let your selfish...
Waving round your face
Feeling catty with my male
You're petting me with grace

But I'll give you all mine

Gotta watch me purring
Stretch out with me in bed
Your anxiety I'm curing
So pet your selfish pussy
I'll set your mind at ease
I'm under foot again
But curing your disease
After all your petting

Photographs
Too early for breakfast
Too late for dinner
God sets up my light fast
And sunset’s a winner
Always a snack for my pocket
Cause my eyes see feasts
Crazy gales, don’t knock it
I like green skies and beasts
Lightning and firestorm mountains
Back lighting to halo innocents
More lights indirect or flash
Filters and tricks no one resents
Fast films to catch a zoom or a smash
Too late for dinner
God sets up my light fast
And sunset’s a winner
Always a snack for my pocket
Cause my eyes see feasts
Crazy gales, don’t knock it
I like green skies and beasts
Lightning and firestorm mountains
Back lighting to halo innocents
More lights indirect or flash
Filters and tricks no one resents
Fast films to catch a zoom or a smash

One Finger
One finger to lift me is all
One from all should I fall
One finger could hold me down
Just one press me to ground
Just one from all for my prize
One to forbid me to rise
If I should ask you for help
Do the one task if I yelp
But one tiny complaint
Holds me in restraint
If all do the same little thing
Look what many hands bring
If asking for one I get five
I'd be the happiest parent alive
One from all should I fall
One finger could hold me down
Just one press me to ground
Just one from all for my prize
One to forbid me to rise
If I should ask you for help
Do the one task if I yelp
But one tiny complaint
Holds me in restraint
If all do the same little thing
Look what many hands bring
If asking for one I get five
I'd be the happiest parent alive

Pride
A proud wound is a thing
That doesn't want to heal
It the heart will bring
So the mind can't feel
The vulnerability
Of a psyche transformed
By brutal honesty
But this fear transformed
Replaced by fear of lies
Allows the heart’s reveal
Embracing all the whys
Of things that make life real
In weakness hides a gift
A beauty like no other
A balm to heal the rift
That wounded pride cannot recover
That doesn't want to heal
It the heart will bring
So the mind can't feel
The vulnerability
Of a psyche transformed
By brutal honesty
But this fear transformed
Replaced by fear of lies
Allows the heart’s reveal
Embracing all the whys
Of things that make life real
In weakness hides a gift
A beauty like no other
A balm to heal the rift
That wounded pride cannot recover

The Hardest part of Weight Loss
Five friends were surveyed
On how they felt about losing weight
The thoughts they conveyed
Were as different as what they ate:
Losing weight is hardest
On the very first day
You must pick a diet
And with it you must stay
Losing weight is actually hardest
One-quarter of the way through
Because you're pretty much the fattest
That your gonna be (while folks are “praising” you)
No, halfway is the hardest
Because you actually feel
Like you could actually stop it there
And be livelier for real ...

Adaptation
Through dogma of adaptation
We formulate civilization
In drunken rationalization
Genetic lies impart sensation
Of solutions to motivation
Or diseases aggravation
Truth seekers sort the intangible
Deceptive models quite unmanageable
Textbooks, journals, monuments instructional
Revealing barriers quite destructible
The Central Dogma of the molecule
DNA fables will come to ridicule
What comes from the inside
Has come from the outside
Dogma cannot abide
Truth is the great divide

Haunted
While the bronze leaves were tumbled by wind
And I hurried by the place
Something ruffled the bumps on my skin
Shadows of fear fell on my face
For only a moment I was so certain
The old house was darkly haunted
But distance increased and lowered that curtain
I thought my imagination just felt what it wanted to
Then I heard of the old man who lived there
Seemingly always home and alone
If true it really doesn't seem fair
Unless he has ghastly sins to atone
Was there ever a significant other
Someone should be to blame
For...

Fly on Web
Have you met the board-fly?
Online comment wonder
Hard-line or the wi-fi
Gives you thoughts to ponder
Who’s online day or night
True the web can teach you
If you can use it right
Though wasted time you’ll rue
Sticky threads, glowing light
If you can't get a clue
You’ll stay on through the night
With website spiders tracking
Distressed threads you fright
Will send you a-packing
Which could set a fly free
If not stuck on the web
Leaving the fly to be
A stuck sucker online

Heaven's Weeping Stars
From a view that lacks the day
All is lighted from afar
Where heaven’s constant gaze
Blurs to those who sail that way
Sweeping trails of light
Stars descending into view
Streaking tears of delight
To see with something new
Or do they weep for the lost child
Hurled in darkness screaming
Into the farthest unknown wild
They greet with starlight streaming
Shipmates of future time streams
Fueled by light we’ve been keeping
Sailing past these starlight beams
Will they see stars that are weeping?
All is lighted from afar
Where heaven’s constant gaze
Blurs to those who sail that way
Sweeping trails of light
Stars descending into view
Streaking tears of delight
To see with something new
Or do they weep for the lost child
Hurled in darkness screaming
Into the farthest unknown wild
They greet with starlight streaming
Shipmates of future time streams
Fueled by light we’ve been keeping
Sailing past these starlight beams
Will they see stars that are weeping?

Pretty blue eyes
Little runny nose
Copper angel hair
Little chubby toes
Enchanting charisma
She just glows
Like a poet’s river
She just flows
Hey little baby
Whatcha gonna be
When you grow up
Please remember me
Where you came from
Tells you where you go
Look to the mountains
That feed your river flow
Hey little baby
Remember who you are
Because that simple truth will get you far

What You do (for Me)
At our table with coffee or tea
With smiles between you and me
The conversation sets us free
The bonding is the key
And I feel the distant thunder
Fueled by pleasures’ plunder
Oncoming passionate wonder
Not stopped for any blunder
Catalyzing passions
With fuel too flammable to ration
That’s how it came to be
That you set me crazy-free
With smiles between you and me
The conversation sets us free
The bonding is the key
And I feel the distant thunder
Fueled by pleasures’ plunder
Oncoming passionate wonder
Not stopped for any blunder
Catalyzing passions
With fuel too flammable to ration
That’s how it came to be
That you set me crazy-free
