Virginia Starr Poem
The cat on my tongue is after the frog in my throat
I put the counted chickens all in one basket before they hatched
Broke a pulled leg, woke up on the wrong side of the bed
And I still saw right through you

Virginia Starr Poem
Night
Dark, Dreary
Sleeping, Sneaking, Shushing
Crime, Adults, Hopscotch, Children
Schooling, Swimming, Singing
Bright, Awake
Day

Virginia Starr Poem
We learn of corruption
As if it were a whirl
Not of Cinnamon but of a plummeting jungle.
As a garden without cedar
Full of gasoline and no talent.
An airliner seeking Justice
Going ablaze.
Full of deceit.

Virginia Starr Poem
Homeless Vietnam Vets
Believing in God
As you stand on the side of the road
Advertising work for food
Believing in God
But where is he now
Advertising work for food
After fighting for others freedom
But where is he now
While you're all alone
After fighting for others freedom
They don’t even look at you
While you’re all alone
Not one person says hello
They don’t even look at you
No “thank you” comes from their mouths
Not one person says hello
As you stand on the side of the road
No “thank you” comes from their mouths

Red dress
Dress impress
Freedom new
New pew
Fast freedom fire
Fire tire
Sky open
Open oven
Corps Vettie

Virginia Starr Poem
She swims the salty seas
Crashing into the surface through leaves
Taking Captain Ahab down with her as he heaves
Destroying her predators ships along the way
He will no longer be found in Norway
She’s moving on to a less crowded bay
