the dolphin women convent
Dolphin women joined the pink convent
It was a hullaballoo, said my cousin Kent.
The dolphin men tried to crash in too.
But alas, they were turned away in Kalamazoo.
I hear they wear pink hoods and capes said one.
That’s a rumor said my auntie whose name is Munn.
The men are all about trying to get in is what

Painful Separation
Biting and awful events!
I had to pray in convents.
You had come but left early
And you were meant an ally.
Less time you had spent with me,
With others I had felt not free.
You were my wished pet you know:
I could not leave you to grow...
My chosen classic partner,
John the Baptist forerunner:
I had been your good refuge
And would

I think of you now,
Why I do not know.
You made an impression upon me.
How? I cannot answer.
You just did.
I know now I miss you.
Yearn to be by your side.
I just want you to know this.
That I miss you and think of you.
Some will call it wrong.

A Convent Girl
A CONVENT GIRL
This is the girl,
Who’s in a whirl,
Who came to the, Convent,
Looking despondent.
This is the nun,
Who’s highly strung,
Who started to lecture,
In spite, of her denture.
This is the Principal,
Who’s very strategical,
Who can dismiss,
If something’s amiss.
Then Mother Superior,
To whom we’re inferior,
Performs her role,
To reach her goal.
These then are the four,
Inside the door,
Of a truly

Walking With My Mother Past Ursuline Convent and Orphanage (Camp Street)
she remembered
meals eaten in silence
agar jelly dessert, the bitterness of seaweed
washed down with milk
rounders with the girls –
the clack of the bat connecting with the ball
exhilaration running the bases
later in the dorm Sister Mary Alphonse
called an early silence
(to quell excitement ?)

Deserted Convent
Habits are scattered in every cubicle
the veils are seen hanging on walls
the rosaries are play things for rats
there is no sign of life in living room
What comes to mind is a place for Nuns
long ago deserted for something better
could be disaster befell home of celibates
no one was there to tell the real story
The old

Confessions of a Convent Girl
You exonerate me always as eye candy,
displayed as such, a temple to your dreams
away and out of reach, my present dandy;
include you in my search for these extremes.
To leer and confiscate towardly,
a faith in you, that this my own portrays
Catholicsm, not disorderly
contains the stark reality displays.
My thoughts of you accept repentence like,
I speak, amidst the
