Poem 1

           Endless Rhyme (working title) is a collection of poems that so far summarize the past 25 years of living. It is separated into several different categories such as love, loss, dreams, and all that lies in between.  Below is a poem some maybe familiar with already. It is from American Princess. It is included in my Dreamer Poems for the reasons I created it. It is included in the dreamer section because sometimes the sentiment feels like a lovely dream.

…Everything Nice

Painted hearts upon a dresser drawer

Starry eyes of dreams galore

Gems of all shapes and colors

Loveliness born of no other

Soda pops and sugary treats

Moms, dads;

And brothers with stinky feet

Desperate grapple with the factual

Pleated skirts and untended hurts

Friends and frienemies

No money can buy

Boys, toys, making tons of noise

Hate and fate with no escape

Envy, joy, and all the above

Roses, Daises

Daffodils, Crazies

Shoes, blues, and funky hair dos

Innocuous wants and toxic avenues

Hopes and fears

Too many tears

Heaven’s angels

And Man’s frailty               (2008: American Princess)
