POW!

For Henry Thank to your wife for bringing you to our town. You are a founder of POW! and a source inspiration for some - me particular. Without you I would consume books the others write. Thanks to POW! I also contribute to my own delight. Copyright (c) Marie Neumann Pottsville, April 2011

Blame

Your responsibility, because you never confessed and didn't accept absolution. Mea culpa ... It wasn't your fault, little one. Magnified by what happened and what came after ... Mea culpa ... Rage storms thorough an apartment. What irony: a victim of another ... ism. All blame on my head. Will also something fit into my hat? Copyright (c) Marie Neumann Pottsville, Summer 2010

Wandering shoes

Did you polish your traveling shoes? They are tap tapping in your closet. Did you shine your wandering shoes? They are making noise in your closet like little chirping birds. Did you try on your old travelling shoes? Tappity tap, tappity tap over the hills, over the rivers, over the meadows they run and I don't mind where I am going. Away from the sleepless nights, away from what it will be next and what has to come. Away, just away I shall come back one day. I know I shall be back someday.

Monster next door 2

A monster next door knows I went to the store food shopping. He watched me coming home with a half-full cart of groceries. He slams a door. I unloaded groceries, my shelves were bare. He slams the door. I took the cart outside, cooked a lunch and ate. He slams the door. The monster wants to be fed. Copyright (c) Marie Neumann Pottsville, 9/1/2010

Cat's tail

What is the purpose of the cat's tail? I do not know. To walk and hold it high. When the cat eats to lie down behind. When the cat is lying on the table knocking down my cigarette lighter, cigarettes, scissors and eyeglasses case. I know it shows a mood. To cover a nose when it is asleep curled up in one ball. What is the purpose of the cat's tail? I don't know. You have to ask the cat. MEOW. Copyright (c) Marie Neumann Pottsville, 9/10/2010

September 2011

Brooks and rivers are overflowing from hurricane Lee. Some roads are blocked. "You can not get there." To much of angry and powerful water. Yellow golden rods are blooming along the highway. It's warm and humid, but some nights are in low fifties. First maple tree leaf turned yellow. Copyright (c) Marie Neumann Pottsville, 9/12/2011

Black

To Hailey Since you like black I shall draw you black horses, black cats, black cows, black labradors, black sheep and children wearing black jeans, and a little girl running home in her black shoes. I lied. I do not know how to draw. Happy Birthday! Copyright (c) Marie Neumann Pottsville, 9/6/2011
