communal kitchen double sink
group prayers peace maker
late nights get one to think
since they got to share an acre
who wants to be alone
gets referral from the gp
padded room of their own
surroundings a little creepy
make no judgement on the go
there is rarely one to blame
for a sold out magic show
brought the trickster fame
Poem ‘Community’ read by the author.
While she slept under a willow
Groundhog’s day graced her pillow
Morning dew on an open flower
Coffee cup to give her power
Slippers off and heels we go
Brush off dust from her ego
Do the hair and put on mask
Two faced tigress what a task
Pouring rain or blaring sun
Keeping fit while on the run
So much to win no way to quit
Sold her soul to make a quid
Owning nothing but her sorrow
In more life debt still tomorrow
Cuckoo clock on the hour
Locking her in the tallest tower
In the darkness of the night
Fighting her invisible fight
Shutting her lips waiting for a kiss
What if her prince gave it a miss
Empty purse and gold instead of heart
Don’t be a tart!
