Rachel Flint Poems

People might think
I'm egotistical
writing about
myself
...

I probably should
hold my tongue
because its in danger
of falling out
...

Safely positioned on the sofa
Reach for the remote
1 2 3 4
Turn over tv
...

The shadow monsters
On the bedroom wall,
Have sharp claws
And sharper teeth
...

A blank page
can turn into
an adventure
heroes
...

Playground


In the playground
...

My job is to seek out
Silver linings
To his numerous clouds
To remind him
...

I knew I had her,
She was smitten.
The old charm had worked again,
She couldn’t leave even if she wanted to.
...

This is the end.
The silences tell me so.
The non-committal noises
in the back of his throat
...

I wish to paddle
in tropical seas;
touch Nepal snow,
feel Sahara breeze.
...
