2031. Un Souvenir Imaginaire

La riviere

Glissante

Une fille

Revante

Un arbre

Qui perd

Ses feules

Les images

D'autumne

Me reviennent

De quelque part

Ou je n'etais

Jamais

Sauf

Dans un

Souvenir

Joli

Que j'ai

Imagine

Fautes de francais

2030. L'Ecrivaine

J'ecris

La poesie

Des fois

Faisant

Des fautes

Mais

Tant pis

J'aime

Jouer

Avec des mots

Balancer

Les paroles

Je suis

La muse

Et personne

Ne me refuse

J'insiste

Je m'amuse

On writing, Fautes de francais

2029. Un Ami

Je ne suis

Pas seule

Je suis la

Avec un ami,

2028. Corporate Theft

There's a

Meeting

Today

No, now

Urgently

So fervently

Driving

Conniving

Why

A partner's

Or customer's

Promise

Or enmity

Hangs

In the balance

Forget

Weekends

And evenings

This company

Wants your

Everything

Ditch

Husband, wife

Children

Family

For money

Working in Startups

2027. Begging a Question

Do you know

My friend?

"I hate her,"

He said.

What prompts

A man

To offend

So?

He begs

To tell

A story

Of love

Or woe,

Hoping

To elicit

Questions.

2026. Everlasting

Lasting loving

Is harder than

Love

For a moment

Or a day.

Hairbrush

Placement,

Dish washing,

And laundry

Get in the way.

Cabinet space

Allotments,

Slots where shoes

Rest,

How pots

And bags

Are put away

All play a part

In wars

And triumphs

Of the heart.

Love is

An everlasting

Negotiation

Where rules form

And morph.

His and hers

Only gradually

Turn

To ours.

Some cherished

Items,

Thoughts,

And traditions

Remain

Forever separate.

A few

Blend.

This is

A different

Happiness

From what's

Expected

But is

Recommended

For those

Who dream

And want

Something real.

2025. Few and True

I'd rather have

Friends, who

Are few

And true,

Than wonder,

Who,

Instead,

Intends

Me harm.

2024. Your Efforts in Vain

Why did you jump
Into that picture

With me,

Smiling?

Are you dreaming,

Hoping

I'd leave

My husband

For a dalliance

With a man

Who cares nothing

For fidelity

Or marriage?

...Not a chance.

2023. Just Being Frank

It's true

I don't remember

Meeting you

Or our conversation

Years back

I'm flattered

You recall

My face

And that place

Sadly,

You made

Little impression

Perhaps,

It was

Your arrogance

That instantly

Erased

My memory

You brag

Of your money

And importance

In your sphere

Of influence

You say

How women

Struggle

For your attention

My advice:

Go

Dote

On Them.
