Connie Webb Poems

Their life is getting worse
She just can’t stop drinking today,
But she loves her kids
And thinks perhaps rehabs the way.
...

I used to complain
About my big funny looking feet
And a friend said,
“Hey they were made that way,
...

He was my instructor
In a college English class.
His stories took us to Italy
And the way women cry
...

I think of when it is all over
No more worries about the bills
Or the health checkups
Or the state of the nation,
...

Swing open the door
Walk straight to the beach
Take in the fresh ocean breeze
As the sun caresses you and
...

The pain never mattered to me
When I saw your face so bright
Such a beautiful baby.
...

I remember when...

I could finally where pants to school
No more frilly little dresses for me
...

Before she got an “F”
On an English Paper
At college
She would write lots of poetry
...

Look around at the sky and trees
Enjoy the sensation of the breeze
The wind and rain will be over soon
Spend time watching each flower bloom.
...

I look at all this art
At the local gallery
I wonder how someone
Could sell a painting
