Hen-pecked, tried and true.
Rearranged, then cried, “I love you!”
Do you dare, or do you dare?
Wonder where the fun is coming from?
Are you solvent, or just a tease?
Come down softly, bending knees.
See the logo, flying flags!
Hear the anthem, the verse now lags.
Are you an angel or a jungle gym?
The cage you sleep in with him
Reeks of dogs with fleas!
Do you wage a different kind of peace?
I claim the mountain until the end!
I refuse to break or even bend!
I will not go to and fro!
I won’t be the one who won’t say no!
Can we meet halfway there?
Do you think I am a bear?
Forest pixies laugh and shout.
They know you and will find you out.
Catching something in the air,
Closing lids and combing hair
Is such a bore when I want more
Than just hello and you don’t care.
Stumbling along the sidewalk 
Hi Gordon, just wanted to say ‘hello’! — Patricia from BBP.
Hey, Patricia! Good to hear from you. Thanks for stopping by. Hope all is well with you and Big Bend Poets.
