Robin Bennett Poems

Dreaming of a beginning,
long before we started;
Houses baked full of
gingerbread for hungry hearts,
...

Remember the days of lemonade-
sipped under the watchful eyes of the
elm? During summer she always
preened about rearranging her leaves
...

Maybe you recall the day we split up-
You stared at me, all black cat like,
spewing bad luck and drowning me
to death in your envy colored eyes.
...

Life has locked me inside my own tortured mind-
bleakly depressed
emotionally whipped
battle scars of life have forced me to
...

Overgrown weeds and the unfamiliar poor,
live on the other side of carefully placed
railroad ties.
The scenery was-
...

Love, why is everything such an argument?
I'm exhausted from watching you beat that
long since dead horse. For once can we
pretend to be adults and leave the dead
...

I find it hard-
to understand you sometimes.
Confusing and unforgiving,
in a Stonehenge sort of way-
...

My life has gotten stranger
through the years-
just last night flannel clad
boys serenaded me at
...

They say a leopard never
changes it's spots. You
are spotless now. I wasted
my time painting
...

You are made of a lot less,
than snips and snails
and puppy dog tails.
...
