the sun is sparkling, the rain rumbling, and we badly need some poetry...

Anita McQueen - Three Poems

TOO MANY NIGHTS

Too many nights
in solitude

feeling
the emptiness

us loners
alone

vivid dreams
at fingertips

leaving moisture
on our lips.

LOVE TRAIN

Ride me like I'm the last train to Heaven.
Tickle my belly.  Pat my forehead.
Gaze out my windows and see
the New Land.

Ride me...
Ride me...
We'll never run out of track.

THE HIP TOUR

Going on
the hip tour

strutting
summer in my steps

I shame
those teasers

with a flutter
of my green eyes
growing wings to Malibu

landing in a backyard
of some rich Wilt
I'll deceive
until he proves himself
a gem.
