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.

Tyranny of Media
At first it was
stories untold
then silence
for the online fold
Now, they claim
to crown kings
and threaten
that only
one side will
be gentle

Where’s My Unused Ballot!? I DID NOT VOTE
Just say no -
that’s what I did
to make my
no-faith count
It’s my protest
of stolen choice
but now fear
it’s still stolen
Let all be
counted IF
they voted!
Meanwhile all
who did not vote
...beware
that’s what I did
to make my
no-faith count
It’s my protest
of stolen choice
but now fear
it’s still stolen
Let all be
counted IF
they voted!
Meanwhile all
who did not vote
...beware

Hen - No More Fox in This House!
Setting my
innocent
confidence
ablaze with
secret burning
ballot truth
I conclude
no more fox
on my TV
...don’t care what
the Fox says
It’s going down
faster than Netflix
on Cuties
...in Texas

Trump Won, Again!
Despite burning ballots
by the dozens
...despite fraud
there weren’t
enough dead cats
and grandmas
Not even
beating up
old men
with Trump signs
could stop the
living proof
of the will
of The People

Why Democrats Don’t Want To Win
I know some
want to win
but if they lose
Biden can’t
demoralize
their platform
flip their issues
and turn America
against the
Left Party
This year their
failed party
abandoned progress
and all they have left
is a loser’s
dark crusade
Better they
play underdog
want to win
but if they lose
Biden can’t
demoralize
their platform
flip their issues
and turn America
against the
Left Party
This year their
failed party
abandoned progress
and all they have left
is a loser’s
dark crusade
Better they
play underdog

Family Shaming - Face the Music
Running away
the number one
pain symptom
for survivors
of bullying
because it’s
an easy target
the innocent
pride of a child
at where they
originate
It’s time to see
we need family
protection
to save the soul
of the common
denominator
of the American dream
...the American family

Social Justice Jihadis Before Your Judgement
Warriors who love
to hate injustice
and the social
crime of prejudice
who’s bludgeon
is their mouth
they carry
with their feet
to the place
of service
on sidewalks
city halls...
...first responders
They typically
scream fire and
brimstone but
only card carrying
plantation workers
are welcome
before elite
benefactors
Luckily
true warriors
DO NOT CARE
However
there is a
key difference ...
to hate injustice
and the social
crime of prejudice
who’s bludgeon
is their mouth
they carry
with their feet
to the place
of service
on sidewalks
city halls...

Honey - You Can Change Your Vote!
..but only
until Friday
he smiled and
said as they
lay together
in his bed
Her eyes were wide
so you didn’t
have to vote
to cancel my mistake?
she asked her voice
a startled choke
Yup - that’s right
and more than that
we’ll both help
keep our President
Instead of zero
we’ll make two
and keep the hounds
of giant tech
far, far away
until Friday
he smiled and
said as they
lay together
in his bed
Her eyes were wide
so you didn’t
have to vote
to cancel my mistake?

Jubilee Lovers
We fought yesterday
I won’t make you
remember
Let’s practice
early for old age
together
It’s too hard
atoning
for everything
and when the
dog house is full
the bed is
too empty
and I get too cold
so let’s be
Jubilee lovers
today
I won’t make you
remember

It’s too hard

for everything
and when the
dog house is full

Two Boys Share a Birthday!
Standing over me
they present
endless questions
and suggestions
as I fashion
this poem
a nearly
intangible gift
as most of mine
are to them
or homemade
like their quilts
their gifts too
are hard to
quantify
brimming with
potential
life for them
has just begun
after all...
they’re six and eight...
we think they’re great!

Like Space-X for Music
More than just a song
making everything
...and masters
advertising
Distribution
on every kind
of platform
whipping up a
real winner
nobody believes him
(except me)
until they witness
But that’s because
he’s an orbital
phenomena
Without a
ground-control team
Stay tuned and
I’ll make sure
you get to see it
shooting over heads
making everything
...and masters
advertising
Distribution
on every kind

Baby, Cancel it for Me
Kissing his lips
her eyes pleading
up to his
I saw the third
debate today
his stifling suit
she loosens...
and realizing
my mistake
I need your help...
you normally
...never go to the polls
my apolitical...
she squeezed
his muscled arms
But I love
America
enough to
realize
I must undue
my voting harm
The slavery
...imprisonments
of victimless
non-violent
offenders
and meaningless ...
