H H Rutledge Poems

Some might say that God had a plan
For every other woman, child and man,
To grab a club and hurry, hurry
Onto the green no later than early.
...

Adolescent effervescence,
A bubbling first kiss.
Expectation that reigns
Between goosebumps and pain.
...

Birth is a mess.. fashionable undress,
A spiritual miracle for the main.
But how can a hugging become such a mugging
The moment my domicile is drained?
