Sample Poems

“Summer fun (Kimo poem sequence) by Robbie Cheadle

https://youtube.com/shorts/7SuS6UTYx80?si=SWmlrKL1plBT1ifG

bronzed bodies lie in full sun. Ignoring
beach umbrellas in the sand
skin cancers paradise

others splash, ten-deep, at the waterline
overcrowding which spoils most
summer celebrations

car parks full, the tarmac soft and tacky
boots sticking, guards tolerate
scorching summer sunshine

~~

“Prison View” by Nolcha Fox

Hot, dry air propels me,
hour to hour, through the day.

The garden on exhibit
from the windows in each room.

We all want to flee the heat
that melts us to the pavement.

The butterflies are gossips.
They let me know the latest.

The flowers plan a prison break
when clouds obscure the sun.

I would love to join them,
but the windows will not open.

      Robbie gets the credit for putting the book feature together. I just did a little editing and published it.

      Robbie is an amazing poet, isn’t she!

      I’m glad you enjoyed my poem. The anthology is packed with wonderful poems by poets whose names I’m certain you’ll recognize.

        It is a great anthology to be part of and yes Robbie does a brilliant job.
        I still reckon she is superwoman in disguise 😁

      Thanks, Robbie, for putting the post together.

      And I’m glad you enjoyed my poem.

      Your poem was spot-on about summer madness. I felt as though I was there on the beach!
