the earth causes a disturbance
in man's invention
nuclear catastrophe threatens
spoiled apple pie for breakfast
causes bowel
spasms and eruptions, pain
nature over nurture, the lies of
addictions
no one can understand anymore
a reality has been created to
justify unseemly
behavior and a failure to parent
do the best you can, man, while
you are here
let your days bring more good
than evil
About Me
- The Wednesday Poet
- To me, poetry is raw emotion; perhaps pure emotion. I liken it to my backyard where everyday conversation is like the cut grass, inviting and crisp. Familiar even. Poetry is the wild grass and trees behind the cut lawn. It provides definition and beauty to the lawn before it. It doesn't seek to explain its existence. It just allows the wind to blow through, moving it as it will. Raw, unkept, but still guiding the soul. **I am a recovered attorney and former corporate professional, on hiatus from the Big world of Big people in Big suits. I am learning to be in a little world with a little person wearing little suits (most with zippers and snaps). I still don't know what I want to be next. But for now, I am going to just focus on being mom and the Wednesday Poet.
