Cartwheels

A poem
by Chris Hibbard
For Mary Jane
July 26, 2015

She flips and she twirls
all curves and curls
She spins and she shines
all graceful lines
She dances and moves
all sparkles and grooves
That girl does cartwheels in my heart

She smiles and she waves
all shimmies and shakes
She laughs and she loves
all kisses and hugs
She skips and she hops
All go’s and no stops
That girl does cartwheels in my heart

A children’s poem for Norah & Rowan by C.E.

A poem by Wendell Berry (1991) Republished without permission March 4, 2016 Love the quick profit, the annual raise, vacation with pay. Want more of everything ready-made.

A poem by Shannon L. Alder Republished without permission February 2, 2016 You chose to give away your love. You chose to have a broken heart. You chose to give up. You chose to hang on. You chose to react. You chose to feel insecure. You chose to feel anger. You chose to fight back. […]
