Susan Lacovara Poems

Where to begin, Misfit-Right In
Do your colorful shoelaces
match your lip gloss grin
Does that hat that you're sportin'
...

This year...
I will love a little harder
Sleep a little longer
Listen a little better
...

I looked for you today
In the wooded trails
of twisting braided branches,
where the drying leaves, edges turned up,
...

Put in pails,
to the side of the road
If only
we could toss out regret
...

She tried,
He lied...

She wept,
...

Oh and how true, your troubles remain...
You've hidden your fingerprints
In her long dark mane
Sold all of your secrets
...

If you like the lace and lateness,
Then prepare your bed in lust

If you crave a winding wooded trail,
...

He loves dark chocolates, old fashion penny candies
and horses....
And I wish he loved me....
...

I cannot tell you what's become
Of my lovers, lost to yesterday

Like those old collected baseball cards,
...

You should have left me there
in my lonely
For I barely noticed I was alone
until you disrupted my days
...
