O Anna Niemus Poems

How did Ms Palin from
a 9000 person town mayor
ascend Alaska's
governor chair?
...

Army recruiting offices are that rarity, mean flowers,
venus flytraps... using the scent of
college, travel and money to lure buzzing bees (children of the poor)
to their deaths by burning, shooting,
...

An abandoned conch's shell
lay disconsolate in the Seychelles
but Lord Hari picked it up
and blew notes through it
...

If about the goring of bulls in
bullfights
you are disconsolate
please write the Spanish
...

The numbers of
nonvegetarians decline
as more see
the Garden of Eden
...

Those who speak discouragingly are akin
to angry employees in a fortune cookie
factory, writing doom and gloom.
...

While one was driving
through Petrolia, California
another in a tucked away
place happened upon the tiny Ohio
...

John McCain dropped bombs of fire
onto the women in a lightbulb factory
in Hanoi, and to the people, animals
and plants of Vietnam in 27 flights
...

He became a silence
loving seeker
.. left heavy boots
for quieter sneakers
...
