Poetry

This area of my site is still under development as I prepare to publish my poetry in book form for sale at last.

I will post a reading/feature schedule and opportunities to purchase here.


On Hunger 
By Terri - 11-18-2006

Organic humming
A whisper of song
Hush little baby
Mother will make it okay
For today

Hunger on the concrete
Sleeping in the street
Baby, don't cry
Mom will teach you
Jesus trick of treat

Soup lines
When the rain comes down
Give them something good to eat
But don't say a word
Mama's going to keep you

Mirage of fullness
Everyday is not ok
But the same song
On mother's lips
Soothes the pains

After their empty mouths
Swallow promises
One day too many
