Premium MemberThe Empty Bus

The big yellow bus has disgorged
          it's final school student;
the driver searches empty seats
          to find what has been forgotten,
or hidden from prying eyes~
          secrets of teenage affairs.


Premium MemberSijo: A New Coat of Paint

A crawling held a walled frame as passer-by beheld too A football helmet and high school pennant encased against a wall Tapestry of day shades painted wall of ledged held rolled flag.

Premium MemberTotal transformation in 2023

I detested poetry at school; it was dull and boring, Everything changed when my husband got cancer, I began to write … This year I’ve published my first poetry book - it won’t be my last!

Premium MemberGrandchild of Mine

His eyes and heart fill with angst of growing old, going to pre-school
The thought of learning excites him so, he sharpens up his manners
Spills his chocolate soy milk and finger paints me a new brown house

Premium MemberTribute To the Aging School Teacher-Sijo

you young, know it alls, are going to get this if it kills me;
you will chew it up and spit it out ‘til you know it is right,
or I promise to haunt you for the rest of my death.
