Cheryl McDonnell Poems

Come on jump right in
Your so shallow I won't drown
Summer she engaged her pain from within
Serves as a warning to his cheshire grin
...

There has been a crossed wire
Something clicked under the choir
A chorus of shame
Oh my behold the chains
...

Hey everyone look here
It’s the girl with freaky hair
Oh my little does she care
This is an ode to freak shows
...

Your eyes burn me like a spitting fire
I took one look, you looked inside
The blue water healed the burns
Left in line after taking my turn
...

Never another step of strength
Shall pass my door while I am with you
You are more powerful now
So take flight
...

Did anybody ever tell you
The apple in your eye is rotten
Encased with the loose ends
And under us with the downtrodden
...

When the air was silent
And the trees slept still
No wind a whispering
It’s sullen winter chill
...

Set the sails into the smoke's swirling blow
Dance with the lady as fast as she will go
Listen up out and aloud
There are alien words calling all around
...

On the lane an angel stands
The gown, the halo and the harp in hand
This angel however is apart from her kin
She wanders the nether places that lie within
...

I was braver than your lion
and cut off his mane with a broken glass
there were only a few who gave back the currant of life
but you choked them all in the end
...
