Susan Speith Poem
Back when I was nice,
I gave things away--
A smile,
A word,
My heart
But not anymore.
Back when I was nice,
I took things in--
A cat,
A word,
A friend
But not now.
Back when I was nice,
things were different--
I was better,
bolder,
younger--
Life was fresher,
bigger,
deeper--
And it was easy,
Back when I was nice.

Susan Speith Poem
I bought a chandelier
and built a house around it
It was one of a kind
and heavy too
it reminded me of a castle
So I took it home
put it in the attic
because
there was nowhere to hang it
It had to have space
to hang
It needed room
to be seen
So the house was built
to house
the chandelier
And now it hangs in the foyer
of my home
And my home
hangs like the chandelier
over my head
