Written for: Poetic Asides November 2017 Chapbook Challenge – Day 28
Two-for-Tuesday – Write a love and/or anti-love poem.
Writing
words dance in her head
small phrases stick together
love of language
as ideas become writing
and written words are spoken
Politicians
yearning for power
wealthy, slick, spouting pledges
that benefit themselves
the people’s votes not counted
the people’s voices unheard
