Poetry Postcards: Pages Cafe

entry picture

A sample of Poetry Postcards printed with my photos and words, to be left on the table at my monthly PoetsCorner@PagesCafe events during 2005-2008, which were open to the public.
My way of spreading poetry to people who may not necessarily seek it…

1: CINQUAIN-No Love
You glow
with love for me.
Accepting all I give,
never questioning if I love.
I don’t.

2. HUSBANDS
Not all bamboo are runners,
some very happily remain
exactly where you put them.

3. CINQUAIN-Never
She lay
prostrate. Waiting.
Will he stay a while when
their beating hearts have calmed down?
Never.

4. DIVORCE
Grown too fat for the vine
achingly warm – full of promise
hand plucked – ready for wine
carefully cut – only to be
rejected.
