(2014)
I’ve known Deep inside All along My value That I matter
If food is poetry The flavors The smells Singing in harmony Is poetry food?
He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
Good secret Bubbles inside Let me out Bad secret Indigestion
Uh-Oh! Cranky mood Throws a fit Over cereal Cheerios
A family trait Massage Is our vice No shame Take what
A joke Lost in Translation You will Never
I enjoy his company Riding shotgun Conversation No one to overhear Our inside jokes
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
Filler words Put me to sleep Added to cushion Take away my pillow Blunt words to wake up
Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go
If I was in a beauty pageant My talent would be 'Lefty who writes upside-down’ Beside the contestant Who burps her ABC’s
My grandfather told my father when he proposed to my mother on one condition
