Long Double dutch Poems

4/8/24

Aww shucks
Still at the crux

Repeat a phrase that I thought mad,
We’d asked for sweets and with much scorn,

No ifs ands or maybes
Daily
I'm seeing hatred
People still extremely racist
Meanwhile food and materials being wasted

What happens to all the brown-skinned girls?
Sitting on the stoop waiting for the ice cream man to come
20 plats in their hair

You know, that one...

cat, dog, food, humor, mom, pain, summer,


I tripped over  feet
My shoe laces both came undone
Slid in my 'spilled' milk
Cut my finger on broke glass
My blood now was mixed in milk!

I sat on a chair

She’s the princess of the world of silence.
Existing outside our normal human touch,
She sees every good, bad, deed we do.
She passes no judgment, just perseverance.
Realizing this world has choice, as such.
Caring not what we decide,...

What if we'd met at Jackson Memorial in the neonatal ward,
Placed ever so gently, side by side, facing the outside world?
And our parents and relatives and friends they had
Giggled thru an over sized window

RAINBOW COLORED CAMOUFLAGE

I heard the wind call out and say,
Arise my child; it's a brand new day;
School is out; it winds up with a sigh,
And the kids are dancing on feet that fly.

How I Got Started

I had to write a poem for Nick
His kindy teacher said I should
Hummed and hawed, prevaricated
Before deciding that I would
