Rashida Mack Poems

Running down the icy, snow covered road,
we ran,
laughing,
you looking back,
...

Popping bacon grease in a pan,
it was Sunday,
mom, step dad and I seated at the table,
sis pushed back her chair,
...

The woman stood solid,
pushing against a wall,
behind the shield marched,
armed and uniformed men,
...

I am a boy,
the size of a man,
bound down,
I break free,
...

Tapping fingers on wife and daughters hand,
lips puckered,
shade covered eyes,
simmering,
...

Today is like any other day,
Accept I shed my uniform
For plain clothes undercover.
Assigned to work the beat,
...

A birthday treat,
Three women at the spa,
An oasis from the norm,
Unplugged,
...

Brooklyn,
Class is out,
It’s summertime,
On the platform,
...

Haiku:

Amazon woman,
Steaming awash, wet to dry
...

Hardened by sorrow,
falling tears melt the ice queen,
erasing all fear
...
