WHAT'S THIS?

Having been immersed in memoir writing for many months, I decided to write a small poem every day for a year to keep my poetic hand in. I've posted them to Instagram and facebook as written – where, to my amazement, people love them – but on this blog they are sometimes subject to later rewriting.

Hey, Stupid ...

 

Hey, Stupid, 

you’re too smart 

to be stupid like that


let alone to be offended

when I call you out 

for careless risk-taking.


Old ladies gotta have

some privileges.

(And crones just might be wise.)


I want you safe and well

and I’m not too polite to tell you.

So suck it up!



(NO, I'm not giving the back story, lol.)
