economy crisis

Lisa Caponiti

baby cockroach,
i cannot be nice.
i must squash you
before you covet my rice.

all creatures
great and small,
enter my kitchen
but none will stall...

i will pound you quick
and trash you fast-
i've got to save,
my food to last!

i have been writing poetry and keeping journals since i was a kid. all of my poems shared are true happenings in my life. so i suppose you can say my poetry is autobiographical. it is so nice to be able to share them with people other than family and friends. and it is great to take these poetry books off of the shelf and go thru them for your enjoyment..i hope! more…
