Three Poems by Ann Privateer

 






Embracing

Idle tremors, love’s joyful feelings
under the blooming bower tree
powerfully murmurs the breeze
flowers flit and rapture reposes
a together treasure that kisses
tastes and healing all there is.



Bound By Nature 
Visually identify’s why
by the because of it
in the parking lot
indistinct, unchosen

Virtue pines, too much wine 
the lost lottery tickets
perhaps locked in the car
with a brail reader mouth
and the corner of an eye 

I sigh, while the engine purrs
wave adieu to inaudible 
expletives, unfettered
beyond the window where
the unhappy soul jokes

in a made up language
called gibberish, nothing 
comes to call, nothing 
up the wall while tears fall 
from oblivion leaving 

and only smiles remains.



The Unknown 

No insults or praise 
Thanks is forgotten 
No gratitude gems

Boys, like flying ants
With too much residue 
While the larder freezes
And wonder halts.
