Prelude
e9781257396610_fig001..jpgGetting Ready
by Paul Butchard. Agency:Dreamtimes.
Eavesdropping
Snuggling behind a thick, insipid wall,
Hiding so mother couldn’t see me,
I heard Mrs. Grebinski say
Mother should send us away.
My brothers and sisters cried as I
Told them and on a map of the world,
We planned our escape.
Penny wanted to go to Madagascar, Don chose Peru, and the others
couldn’t read
Yet and said they’d follow.
My callused heart wept for none
Of them. I planned a solo flight.
Lying in my twin-sized bed, crying
Into my purple pillow, I was already gone, alone
Woman Bigot
The woman who is a bigot
Is far worse than any God’s fury,
Except her match, her gentleman,
Who really is Mr. Man.?
Belladonna
Deadly nightshades hide poison deep inside
Their ruby bell-shaped flowers and cradle blackberries.
A curious passer-by picks and nibbles on
Deadly nightshades that hide poison deep inside
Their ruby bell-shaped flowers and cradle blackberries.
A curious passer-by swallows and is gone.
Deadly nightshades hide poison deep inside
Their ruby bell-shaped flowers and cradle blackberries
Lady in Waiting
I won’t be stagnate, waiting
For Prince Charming
Later to find he’s
Really the wart on the frog’s ass.
I’ve grown roses in my eyes
To see Adonis, flawless, statuesque
Perched upon the highest hill yet I
Feel disappointment when I met him
In human form
I won’t be stagnate, waiting
For Prince Charming
Later to find he’s
Really the wart on the frog’s ass.
The Adonis in my mind is
Real and I can’t let go, I cry ladylike lakes of tears,
Shaded by
