Square Peg
my people
no disrespect
but I suspect
I trespass on who you be
you cling to security
of a singularity
that does not
define me
that does not even see
who I be

Poem of the Day: Cicadas and I by Sandy Hoar
CICADAS AND I
It will be hot today
But now, it is almost chilly
Ok for sitting with a cup of coffee
Cicada stillness
No wind
Clear, leaves sharply outlined
Blue morning glories interwoven in the rose-of-sharon
I should pull down those dead oak branches
Lilies blooming beside the roses
The weeds higher than the tomatoes
Asters, lilies, and ornamental grass
Pull the eye along the basil and parsley,
the marjoram and mint
Poke weed--better remove before a dog decides to nibble
So still-- the squirrels and birds sleeping late this morning
The dogs running, checking each distant truck
For now
The cicadas and I
Sit and see
The end of summer
It will be hot today
For now
Still, clear, chilly
The squirrels and birds sleeping late
For now
The cicadas and I
Sit and see
The end of summer
