Katherine Stella Poet Rhyme

Chilly Willy

like a stampeed herd of buffalo shuffling across floor
I kept hearing stomping through the door

no mist or beams of light
but her dogs surely felt the erie fright

clinging to me like a lovers intertwine
I uttered to them you'll both be just fine

I could feel my sister's enity come through the door
I sat up and yelled your here no more

as fast as she came in
she backed out slowly once again

I called out to her name
said you died in your sleep oh what a shame

could not fall to sleep the rest of the night
waiting for another sign that she's alright

she was only fifty seven
now she resides in God's heaven

her dogs placed in a no kill shelter
But her visit felt like helter skelter



Tribute To My Sister Phyllis  {1951 - 2009 }

Sara Kendrick October 25, 2009 at 12:35 PM Interesting and scary. Thanks for your comments on my haiku "Churned". It is amazing to me that sometimes a person's anger is not about the here and now but goes back even sometimes for generations. Each person passes on the anger that was their parents and no one knows why that person is so angry. Of course, sometimes it is some form of mental illness or other reasons. Keep writing. Sara
