"Malpractice" He doesn't look me in the eyes But once or twice with steely glare I try to tell him how I feel He cuts me off. He doesn't care. He doesn't ask me where it hurts Just pokes and prods with slight disdain He says it's my fault that I...

I don't usually share a lot of my poetry because it can be a bit dark and personal, but I really enjoy writing poetry to channel my thoughts and feelings. Here is one of my poems: My mind is a beast that can't be tamed, with thoughts that try to eat...

The Hummingbird is back today not much bigger than a bumblebee— the buzz and quiver at the feeder, wings only visible at rest. The rest of the birds come too, scattered through the shrubs and trees, littered like leaves from the blown book of ...
