Poems...

"I have listened to many poems
Short and tall, Loud and soft
Dottie with glasses was hard to listen to

I want to write poetry
But, my mind is concrete
Dottie's brain is pink and sparkly

Dates, timelines, facts, and figures
I am responsible for these
My words are not abstract

Genocide is not beautiful
The Arab-Israeli Conflict and Vietnam War
are my profession
