WOMEN'S POETRY

A FUN LITTLE POEM TO END OUT THE DAY - CHERRY WINE

Cherry Wine Cherry wine and chocolate Led to the tall grass Fronds like green sandy paper In which to hide. A bit of wine. A bit of chocolate. A charm or two. It’s, oh, so fine. It’s chocolate, cherry wine. Indulge me, sir. You lay me down. Pour that chocolate wine— Pop that cherry, Oh, so fine.... Sign in to see full entry.

BAREFOOT TO THE BAY - new poem

Sea-foam green your ’65 Ford truck contained four teens squeezed in the front parked down a road now full of mud. We sat and smoked and talked and laughed. Raindrops fell and fell, trees hung low windshield foggy, gray, and foul. We sat warm in yellow slickers the rain let up the wind blew calm.... Sign in to see full entry.

Midwife – thanks and commentary

Thanks to everyone who commented on my “Midwife” poem. I found it interesting that many of you found this delivery option (the baby delivery not my poetry delivery) a good one. I agree. What you wouldn’t know was that this poem was written as a response to A Midwife’s Tale: The Life of Martha... Sign in to see full entry.

MIDWIFE - Another new poem

The midwife comes when pain is set Candle light serves soft the glow Firelight flicks the walls while shadows move My friends are here, my labor comes I rise from bed and bend my knees The midwife soothes me with her talk One friend, my thighs she rubs and rubs Two friends both hold me up in love...

IMAGINING - A Poem

My husband's favorite poem that I wrote a number of years ago. IMAGINING At night— free-falling off red clay cliffs into luminescent pools of water That coolly caresses and tingles my body sliver, with a rushing wash, icing my armpits. To deep recesses I swiftly descend losing the world like poison... Sign in to see full entry.

AUDRE LORDE – BLACK POET – IN HONOR OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Audre Lorde is one of my all-time favorite black poets. In reading sam444’s tribute to Langston Hughes in honor of Black History Month, I thought I, too, would honor one of my favorite poets. So I am posting it here. Who knows? Perhaps Lorde will also become one of your favorite poets. I used to... Sign in to see full entry.

FARM MORNING - A Poem

FARM MORNING Opening the door I hear No sound – not far, not near. I gaze across the field into the woods, trees yield to early light, the trees just blaze, a gilded glow that meets my gaze. The old lilac bush not yet in flower a landing for finches under power on wings that flap so fast upon their... Sign in to see full entry.
