a few select poems from me, a part-time wordsmith



Poem below by Renate Kahru / Poetry Uprising


"I don't owe explanations" she said in a cantaloupe voice "But since you questioned so prettily Love: The last slice of pizza sits in the box between us waiting to see
who will claim it first is the only answer i can provide."
 

It worked for me once in a world of blue marmalade, it was a freak accident with food coloring, don't ask for details, you'll understand when you're older.
 

She smiles at nonsense that would make Alice's head spin and wipe the smirk off that damn cat's ... face? or is that... no, no... she's lost that train of thought...
 

she bats the mouse away from her window...back into the teacup where he belongs and asks "just what do you have in your pocketses?" She watches as Hester

I...I...I... I have to do something to prove my worth.
 

I hand you a jellybean filled futon and wonder how it got in my room. I think you dropped this...

 
I grin and the stage is set for...
