Riitta Gyllenbogel Poems

The lining
of my expensive rain
jacket
broke within weeks
...

My friend,
don't really know
how to say this...
please don't get your
...

Oh but it can
it can!
never accept that doubt
never let it overwhelm
...

Oh no,
replies the knight
my horse is too old
too exhausted
...

The very first screw
went all crooked
after that
doesn't seem to matter
...

A veil
designed to hide
a woman's beauty
fails to do its duty
...

There was a child
living in a dream
world
imaginary friends
...

There is no enemy
neither within nor without
only thoughts we like
and thoughts we do not
...

A woman wearing
a veil
oppressed?
or expressing her own
...

No,
I don't know
who you are
sorry if that disappoints
...
