Caring: Romantic Email Poetic Lament
February 17, 2012She claimed she cared for me
but what did she ever see
of my kids’ agony?
My lack of destiny?
My parents elderly?
Courtroom travesty?
Lack of money?
My self-destructive propensity?
She only cared
that for her I was there
when she was needy.
Why I Write: Revolutionary IMprov Sonnet
March 9, 2011I write because
I can’t stop.
It feels like me
to birth word-thoughts
Live into the universe,
screaming like newborns
with energy, life
and emotion.
If I were to cease,
like a woman in mid-labor cries,
I would scream in agony,
convulse, and die.
Not wanting to be found dead,
I choose to dream and write instead.
