Premium Member Summer Sonnet: River-Woman
Awakened! I returned a stream in Spring to flow and grow on nature’s snowmelt milk. I came to be of earth and sky (...a fling), my sire a winter storm. Like liquid silk emerging, I was born; a water-child. Between two banks I nestled with my dreams and bloomed a gAnGLy creek ‘til solstice. Wild I played— not meek but sleek....

Premium Member What Immigrants Really Want
Come out of the darkness, stand in the light. Speak from your heart and give us insight. Don’t treat us like animals lured by honey. Saying you care and you’ll give us your money. Offer instead, a small thread of hope, A plan to slow, illegal immigration, guns, dope. Shore up our borders, build a great wall, Help the murder and theft...

Always Losing
In a café’s hush, two lovers as pawns, at dawn’s closed gate before it dawns. They clutch a paper, creased and thin, their vows on trial for breathing sin. The soldiers come with boots of dust, their eyes demand, “Obey or trust?” A ring means little, papers less, they weigh our love in bitterness. Her scarf is blue; she pins it tight, a hidden...

Locked Away
Walking across a college campus classes done till Fall I hear those lessons never taught on winds that truth recalls The questions that we used to prize now locked away in files To favor dogma’s jagged edge — in deaf self-serving bile (Villanova University: July, 2025) ...

Pandora’s Box
You are a prisoner of your own mind, Chained within a cell, That binds your thoughts, And conceals your head. Fragile, hidden, perfectly eclipsed, Your mind lacks the fortitude, It needs to be left in. You speak without pride. Without light, without voice. Your words lack connotation, The way your mind lacks grace. In sorrow, in numb, You are all you did not want. So, you remain in...

My poems do not have a face and voice -- I sign them, Nobody, by choice. As Emily suggested -- no difference in blue and red? They are both colors, and all are God – so, Nobody, is my humble pod… Content being, Nobody~ in the greater fold of God....

It Will Be Beautiful
When I don't understand I look to you for words to speak, And every time it brings me to my knees, What I cannot describe yet know inside, Leaving me speechless, making me cry, Do I need an explanation or validation, What if it is just love without expectation, You brought me here in this place, To create that freedom and space, And...
