(2014)
Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
Does it hurt? When you prick your finger No I do this just for fun Our fingers lose feeling
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
Don’t talk down to me I am not a child! Even children Deserve respect
She is no longer Part of my life I’ve moved on My life is full With friends
¿Te duele Cuándo piques tu dedo? No Lo hago por pura diversión Lo que duele
The E’s squeak by The I’s are too excited The U’s come after Q But the A’s and the O’s They flow
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
Que te cuentan un chiste Las palabras se traducen Pero el humor no se puede Por si no lo entiendes Ríete
Dime ¿Qué es su lengua materna? Ni inglés Ni español Sus padres no hablan inglés
Springtime means Berry pickin’ In warm sun Therapeutic Part of me
He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere
I’m watching a woman in a bikini In great shape with a swollen bell… Play with her puppy named Gatsby A Hispanic family comes The little girl dips her feet in
If I was in a beauty pageant My talent would be 'Lefty who writes upside-down’ Beside the contestant Who burps her ABC’s
