CARDINAL POEM - Oh, the anxiety

I've written a very short story (238) words about a cardinal (bird kind). I thought I would work it into a poem. But here's the problem. I kind of like the story as it is and I'm feeling anxiety about writing a new poem. Does anyone else ever feel like that before starting a new poem? Why do we do... Sign in to see full entry.

ROBBED - From SPLITTING THE EARTH

Here's "Robbed." ROBBED At night your smell it sucks my breath away A stale poured beer times six ekes out your pores. I long to yell at you. This dismal spell That robs us poor of love and money, too. A wish for you for me is just to stop. Copyright 2008. Betsy Lewis. All rights reserved. Summer... Sign in to see full entry.

SUMMER NO. 1 Sandals slap my heels Spraying sand against my legs. Breakers capture me. Gray clouds crowd the sky, dusty silver balls above, tumble towards the... Sign in to see full entry.
