separating kids
from families at border
is it justified
will some common sense prevail
will humanity survive
#Weekly Poetry Challenge – Week 101: Family & Survive
Beyond the ballyhoo
does not entice me
lifestyle of celebrities
nor adulation
I long for a simple life
far beyond the ballyhoo
Artichokes and anchovies
I like pizza sans
artichokes and anchovies
I don’t like no frills
for me plain jane any day
just like my Margherita
Crystal clear consolations
do not always work
crystal clear consolations
to unsuspecting heart
poor thing cannot understand
it was never meant to be
Morphing into magma
hell hath no fury
like a woman truly scorned
pay her a close heed
you don’t want her unshed tears
a morphing into magma
The reluctant dancer
the dance lessons were
not working – he had been told
he had two left feet
after two weeks of lessons
he felt he had no feet left

Unexpected
passively enjoyed
attention as he wooed her
was taken aback
when she so aggressively
rebuffed his proclamation
SoCS Prompt – passive/aggressive
The rebel
highlights in her hair
choicest cuss words on her lips
she is no lady
all she wants is her freedom
from social stereotypes
#Weekly Poetry Challenge – Week 91 Lady & Highlights
Reminiscing
she gave up her chance
of breaking the glass ceiling
to take care of kids
looks around her empty nest
with a sad empty feeling
