Two Poems by Ann Privateer

 



Over and Over Again

 

A succession of sounds

Audible shadows

That Ta Da a message



It reverberates in a box

Circling in intensity 

Never a fan of stress



It only knows over and over

Again and again until we

Cringe and gasp and suffer



Don’t be an admonisher

Buy push pins for your cork board

And follow the rules



And never run in the rain.



Unaware



Secrets scribbled in a notebook
Wild writings about a contentious life
Feelings crazy, poetry blows away
Into the observers joy
Eavesdrop, be essential
Spontaneous too

Don't live your life in a tea cup
Don't toil all day with nothing to show
Your memory magnet can’t objectify
Dance and sing because it’s summer.
